What are the conspiracies? Speaking for myself, but I don't deny facts. I know the law. Kidnapping doesn't equate to murder. That's a fact.
Is the theory that DB murdered Cash, left him in the street, and came back the next morning, conveniently stepped right in front of the camera without doing anything, and left - all alone? He did this all by himself? It's not what happened. That sounds like a conspiracy. Or a set up. All I've heard from DB's mom is that her son is being framed. Some have said that's "denial". Maybe. Or she's being honest. I don't know these people personally. WS is victim friendly. This is a tragedy for DB's mom too. So to say, oh she's just in denial. Come on. Who is supposed to speak for DB if not his mom? She didn't stay silent. She outright said he's being framed. Maybe she truly believes it. And unfortunately, facts aren't enough to stop people from spreading conspiracies and believing lies. For me, they are.
It's possible that someone wanted Cash dead, picked the town crazy to kidnap him, made sure DB was seen on camera and the camera does not show the murder. It is possible. But Occam's Razor and all that, and LE saying there is one suspect, I still believe this was done by DB alone.
As to DB's mom, she's said not only that her son was being framed but that he was never violent. But there is already this other incident where he tried to carry away a two-year old girl and attacked her grandfather.
It's been my experience, over 25 years of teaching 8th grade, that parents do tend to get defensive and incredulous when we've called them in to discuss some trouble that their children have caused. Some parents immediately take care of it, but many parents just refuse to believe their child could do this or that. We have to show them things that their kids wrote, or show them camera footage from the hallways, for them to recognize that the child they know at home is NOT the way the child behaves at school.
I understand DB is 18, not 14 like my students. Therefore I will add, sadly, that my own daughter did things I was COMPLETELY unaware of and didn't know about until she told me, after she was married and a mother. I was a helicopter parent, too, but she had a side I just did not know.
