Faulty reasoning.
You can be uncooperative if you don't know anything but people expect that you do know something.
Emotions are running high on this tragedy, but it will prudent not to get ahead of ourselves and jump to conclusions with media supplied information
Example
Guy Paul Morin was considered to be uncooperative with the detectives because he wouldn't give them the answers they were looking to confirm
He was aloof and unemotional than the usual person and that convinced them moreover that he was the killer. ("Ya... the Kid showed no emotion that the little girl died... He must know something")
They charged him with murder and he rotted in jail until newer DNA science cleared him of the crime scene
They jumped to conclusion, imprisoned the wrong guy and they never found the actual murder
So if the pro's refrain from jumping to conclusions... Maybe we should too?
