Re: graffiti
Yes. If the prosecutor has eye witnesses or even circumstantial evidence that suggests your son's involvement, the prosecutor can pursue the case. Whether they can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt is entirely different, but criminal cases can be won entirely on circumstantial evidence if strong enough.
