Should have given her the Elizabeth Barthory treatment and locked her in a tower after the trial. And then after she tried to poison people at a party. But no, treat the whole thing like a joke and let her off with a shock.
She's nothing more than a plot device that has long outlived her usefulness.
Like she wasn't needed for this arc alone. Itsuki's party even without her are bastards who could have served the same purpose and Ren was already spiraling and didn't need her to push him over the edge when you could have just had him fall on his own. Motoyatsu didn't need the accusation either considering the rest of the women in his party tossed him out.
The author tried to repeat what happened to Naofumi using the same catalyst, but that doesn't work when they aren't the same character and have different issues.
