Nah this is a perfect example of a Fahrenheit 451 situation. The govt needed to blame someone otherwise they would look incompetent and this guy is who they chose.

For context in Fahrenheit 451 the main character is on the run for reading books (which have been outlawed) and he watches the cops kill an innocent man while they claim it was him.
