I'm saying everything is suspect if it's said in-character by someone who doesn't have perfect information about the situation: yes.
As for picking and choosing evidence: from the angle I'm seeing things, people have already held the trial in absentia, decided Buffy and Angel are guilty and are queuing up to deliver sentence.
I'm trying to argue that things aren't that cut and dried. When 8.36 comes out in a week or so we'll know more, and if Spike gives Willow a counterspell to "undo the effects of the glow" and Buffy and Angel both start acting outraged when they realise they were under its effects, then I'll accept my interpretation was wrong. But if he doesn't, the storyline still makes sense to me without that.
