It was probably Geezer who framed him of murder.
If you want to be really micromanaging about it like how I was when I played through Oblivion, pick the skills you won't use unless you specifically want to force a stat level up. That way you can make sure you get 3 +5 stats each time you level up so you have a bit of an easier time later in the game when you start fighting glass-armor-wearing bandits and the like.
