It very well may be up to a jury (or a judge alone). And they'll hear questions like:
- Can the prosecution show where and how Mr. X moved the funds while he was in jail?
- Can they show who he communicated with or ordered to abscond these funds?
- Can they identify who controls the funds now?
- Can they identify anyone else who may have had control of these funds while in their previous wallet?
The answer is basically no to any of those questions. This is simply because of the nature of crypto and mathematics; a set of seed words allows anyone to restore access on any machine, from anywhere on the planet.

Just acting shady is usually enough, and the moment you refused to decrypt the wallet, you made yourself look guilty to the majority of jurors.
