I disagree. Wes has given everyone every reason to believe he may be involved. he has kidnapped before, raped before, beaten up his ex, very violently, at least twice. He has years of drug abuse and a long criminal history and he lied his arse off during this investigation. So i do not feel one bit guilty for accusing him of harming AJ. I was basing my belief upon HIS OWN PRIOR ACTIONS.
But the neighbor kid has done nothing to evoke our suspicions--other than the 'evidence' thrust upon him by Wes and friends. The neighbor kid has been chosen by Wes to be a scapegoat.
So I think there is a big difference publicly accusing Wes of this crime as opposed to accusing the kid. JMO Maybe Wes is innocent of this crime. But I will not feel guilty about accusing him because of the many stupid, ridiculous and guilty looking things he did during the aftermath.
ETA:
One example: days after she went missing, Wes was in his hotel room with a teen boy, and he was doing coke, hiding his ammo in the wall, and talking fondly about his criminal past and his love for the Aryan Nation. :no:
