Manager likes to find out who's to blame

I hate her attitude. If she finds an error she's immediately on teams saying "who did this"
Or she tags you and asks leasing questions until you realize there's an error. She accused me today and she was right I had signed off something and there was a mistake. However I couldn't have made that mistake hard to explain but anyway I just took it on the chin and apologized. I had signed off so it was my responsibility. Another member of my team is a young guy about 22 and I find it so irritating as he is always the first to say "it wasn't me".
Anyway a big error has come to light and I know it was him. He's already said to me it couldn't be him as he was on annual leave on that day but it's more complicated than that. I'm dreading the morning when the manager finds out about the mistake she is going to ask me how did this happen. I've already sent her a detailed email with the corrections and a sorry this happened but didn't take responsibility . Thing is I hate throwing anyone under the bus. I think we all make mistakes etc and the team should stand by one another. I found another error made by a new girl who will be mortified. If the manager asks me I want to say I don't believe in blaming any one individual but that the team will do better in the future. I dont want to name names. I think I'm going to say it to her if she starts asking who is to blame. Wwyd

If you cannot pick up the phone or talk in person when a mistake has been made, no respect from me.

FFS I specifically said you probably knew but I was pointing it out just in case you didn’t , there is no need to be so bloody defensive.

Genuine apologies if it came across like that, my response was pretty genuine from my side, difficult to convey emotion over the internet.

Cool, sorry for snapping Flowers
