Or, asking why THIS case, and not all the other questionable cases that have probably happened since this one that aren't getting national media attention.

Instead, he's been charged with a crime, based on the evidence available to the prosecutor. He'll have his day in court, and if, in fact, things happened as he said, he'll be acquitted.
