You said "alleged crime", but there is no alleged crime in the article.
Yes, "it's expected" isn't always a defense, but your implication is wrong: More often than not, it is a defense (the most common format is "why are you surprised?"), and that applies here (otherwise, it makes no semantic sense in the parent's comment).
Regardless, why resort to petty insults? It hurts to see this on HN.

I skimmed the rest and saw too many weasel words. Good luck.
