Williams Staged the Attack?

I just read an update on the Williams case from the Lexington Kentucky Newspaper. (Is it weird that their logo is oddly similar to Walmart's?"). The local newspaper article reports that the alleged victim, Williams, shot a video from her cell phone during the attack. The defendants attorney's claim that this proves that Williams was just staging the attack along with the other three high school students who have plead not guilty. Their attorney's believe that since Williams had a cell phone to shoot a video, she could have just called 911 for help. Instead she shot the video on Friday April 16th, the day of the alleged attack and then reported it the following Monday.
The local police investigating this still claim that there is no evidence that this is a hate crime. Williams mother still believes otherwise.
My initial reaction that the idea that Williams staged this assault, was that it was definitely possible. What a better way to commemorate The National Day of Silence than to stage a hate crime based on sexual orientation? It gets the point across that school in the United States need to fight harassment and bullying towards the LGBTQ students. But there could be more to this case that the investigators who are stubborn to see this case as anything but a practical joke.
Williams may have fought a video because she was afraid that no one would believe her that she was kidnapped, beaten and then was a victim of attempted murder. It would have been the stories of three against one, and it seems that the Jackson County police are a bit weary on throwing out 'progressive' terminology such as 'hate crimes'. Maybe Williams understood the resistance her community has against LGBTQ issues, and recording a video would be the only valid evidence lawyers and police investigators couldn't explain away. She was kidnapped and taken to Flat Lick Falls. Flat Lick Falls and the surrounding 86 acres of land was purchased by the government. There is little development in the area that Williams was taken to. I know that when I go camping at my nearby National Park, I get zero cellphone service. Perhaps Williams couldn't call 911 because she couldn't get any reception and then opted for the next best thing she could think of which was to get evidence of the attack.
Nothing would surprise me about this case except for the local police opening themselves up to possibilities of this being a hate crime.
