Telles' claims of a conspiracy against him are a stretch, but he did paint a picture of several people and a company who had a motive to frame him. Although Telles lost his argument, it should be acknowledged that sometimes investigators get things wrong, and people who claim they've been set up should be given a chance to say their piece.
