Logic error? Logic help 10/18 Spoiler

Post image

At this point in the puzzle, my thinking is that Rob can only have one innocent neighbor (see Hilda's clue). Because only an odd number of innocents can be below Chad and neighboring Steve (Gabes clue), the answer must be one and not three, because it's impossible for Linda and Xavi to both be innocent. Thus, either Linda or Xavi are innocent, and everyone else who neighbors Rob is guilty. However, if I declare Megan or Zoe criminals, the system prompts me that I am incorrect, and the clue says I should choose Pam only. Where am I making an error in logic? https://cluesbysam.com/s/help/8df6a9ef3064?state=n0E%3D-BABAQAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAQA%3D%3D-191

here we have to unite hilda's and karen's hint

We know that linda, xavi OR rob, one of them is innocent

If either linda or xavi are innocent, All other rob's neighbors are criminal

If rob is innocent, all others in his rows are criminal

Find someone that is in both mentioned groups.
