Jo didn't say anything behind Paul but Paul and all people around are certain that Jo really did it.
1) Shall I say, "Jo is innocent in this issue."
2) Any better way to describe Jo's situation?
Thank you.
behind Paul- behind Paul's back??
You could also say that Jo isn't to blame for this.
Ju.
A few more ideas:
Jo has been unfairly/wrongly accused of this.
Everyone's pointing the finger but Jo's not at fault.
Jo's blameless in this, despite what they say.
