Even a law professor couldn't escape being framed, what does that mean for the rest of us?

Why would you expect a law professor to be an expert in avoiding being framed?
They might have the resources (experience, connections, money) to mount a successful defense that the average person wouldn't have access to?
So, not avoid being framed, but defending against it successfully, which they did.
Not before losing his career and having to flee his country, probably because his reputation was dragged through the mud. News of the acquittal doesn't travel nearly as far as the initial arrest - see sibling comment below.
Cheaper and quicker to just disappear us
Is it? If someone turns up dead or goes missing, everyone wonder’s what happened and who did it. Frame someone for CP, no one’s thinking of hackers.
