Those behaviors are probably found in tandem rather frequently, I
would guess.  Nevertheless, I'm not necessarily suggesting that this
kid was framed. I'm only putting forth for argument's sake the
possibility that the suspect is being used as a diversionary tactic
by someone more deeply involved, and the only reason I'm bothering
with *that* is that something about this case doesn't "smell" right.
It could simply be a paucity of facts being reported by the media,
I don't know.
