We still truly believe that she is merely a scapegoat and shes innocentas we have already submitted much earlier in the day was the fact that there was no direct evidence that she applied anything on him.请问老师蓝字部分如何划分成分。submitted much 的much如何理解呢，applied anything on him的介词可以用to 吗？谢谢老师！！！
蓝色部分有语病，有多处语法错误。
1. as we have already submitted much earlier in the day was the fact that there was no direct evidence that she applied anything on him.
依据前后句意，as 应该引导“比较从句”（传统语法叫做“非限制性定语从句），而非“缘由从句或时间从句”。这里as 指代前文that 从句的内容：正如大家倡导的那样。as 同时作了submitted 的宾语。
submit 是及物动词，（法律用语）“倡导；建议”。
2. much 修饰比较级 earlier，跟submitted 无关。much earlier in the day 意为“今天早些时候”。
3. apply sth. to sb. 表示“把某事施加于某人”，不跟on 搭配。
4. 大的错误在于：was the fact。由于as we have already submitted much earlier in the day 已经非常完整，后面能再加成分。
改正方法：在day 后面加句号结束前句，另开一句：The fact was that...
We still truly believe that she is merely a scapegoat and shes innocent as we have already submitted much earlier in the day. The fact was that there was no direct evidence that she applied anything on him.
【翻译】大家仍然相信她只不过一个替罪羊，她是无辜的，正如大家今天早些时候已经提出的那样。事实上，没直接证据表明她对他做了哪些。
