>>4 I agree with this person idea.
There shouldn't be no reason for them to turn you down if you're willing to clear your name. Take the test and be strong don't let life beat you down. Your friend know you didn't cause this and she most likely wouldn't want you to get hurt. If the family denies the offer don't beat yourself up about it you didn't do anything wrong if you weren't involve. It's not your fault so keep your head up.
