May be. Too bad we'll never know, because the FACTS were never established in the case. Maybe someone who hated his guts planted that stuff on him. Maybe he found it somewhere and didn't realize what it was. Maybe it was sent or given to him by mistake. It doesn't matter now. He's dead and he's going to stay dead whether he committed a crime or not.
Hypothetical: let's say someone who hates your guts mails you a copy of a kiddie porn magazine. You pick up the envelope at the post office, throw it in your car without opening it, and drive away on an errand. A few blocks away a cop stops you for a broken taillight, and, as you step out of the car, the envelope falls to the curb and breaks open, revealing the magazine. The cop cuffs you, drags you downtown, has you booked on kiddie porn charges, and you get thrown in the county lockup until the trial. After a few days, word gets around that you like to diddle kids. Not long after, you are surrounded in the shower by a crowd of inmates.
Question: do the inmates there have the right to beat you to death or not?

I think you're taking my amusement at this a little too seriously.
DISCLAIMER: I believe all people accused of a crime are entitled to a fair trial and should not be subjected to vigilante justice. HOWEVER, I reserve my right to be amused by vigilante justice should it occur.
