He may be innocent; I hope he is. I certainly presume so. It is interesting that he didn't take any tests. He is in a position to know the tests are designed to make everyone fail. This should be the verification of our adage that noone should ever take any test offered by law enforcement.

Karli - I've only spoken with Bill one time, but he seemed like a genuinely nice person to me.
Not sure how his case turned out, but this type of charge could happen to anyone and, in my opinion, says nothing about his character.
