> It's likely their lawyers told them to stop talking, and that we don't know the full story here Any defense attorney will give him this advice. My guess is the investigation into this is not looking to discover the truth, it's looking for someone to blame. And the lower they are on the totem pole, the better. If the investigation is an impartial arbiter only concerned with truth and justice, then the guy should cooperate. In the real world, it's probably a kangaroo court that will forget all exculpatory statements and amplify all damaging ones. So if he tells the investigators: "Yeah, I clicked on it, but the message told me it was not a drill, and my manager never advised me there was an ongoing exercise" Then the prosecutor will tell the court: "During questioning he confessed to clicking the button. It's an open-and-shut case, send him to jail!"
