Syag,
Your comment is silly in that you assume that a person has no right to defense. I don’t know this case nor am I following it, but it is quite likely that there a goodly number if people who know this man. And they believe they know him well and know that he could not have done such a thing. They may also know the other side and believe that they are completely likely to have made this up for whatever reason.
In that case it is understandable why he had supporters who are doing what they can to help him.
