praemissa damnatio: "prearranged condemnation"; the idea is that B. has been framed and the accusers play only a secondary role. puduit: < the impersonal verb pudet , "put x [accusative of person] to shame for y [genitive of cause of shame]"; vilitas: it is better to read vilitatis (cf. Gruber ad loc.) as a genitive of the cause of shame with puduit , to parallel innocentiae .
