It's probably a result of the MANNER of how the student defended herself. Teachers really don't want to look like idiots in front of the kids, even if they ARE in the wrong.
True Story: one lunch period in sixth grade we couldn't hear the teachers say it was time to leave and proceeded to lock all but three of the kids in the four classes in the cafeteria out of their classrooms. Absolutely brilliant, right? When it was over I called the teacher out on this REALLY stupid call and she gave me a detention.
