He hasn't, but it appears quite likely he destroyed evidence. So my point is that the law allows for an inference that "innocent people don't act this way" and the destruction of salient evidence would certainly seem to qualify, would it not?
And yes, I did say that an individual is silly to cooperate with law enforcement. There's a big big difference between not voluntarily disclosing information and actively destroying evidence.
That's why the law doesn't allow you to infer guilt from someone hiring a lawyer but will allow you to infer guilt from a number of other acts/omissions.
