A couple of points here.  The events of what unfolded as described by you seems very bias towards the candidate.  Obviously, there are different points of view and you have taken the side of the candidate.  Yes, it only takes a 1-2 second to fill out the bubble, but actions before and after filling out the bubble still counts as time used in the proctors eyes.  It’s not just 3 seconds, it’s more than that.
Arguing about the 2 min late start time is trivial, once the proctors says STOP, you stop!  This was instructed to you many times and I assure you, they have stated that before you even open the booklet.
Additionally, by you telling us he wasn’t doing this or wasn’t doing that is irrelevant.  It just matters what the proctors thinks you are doing.  This happens all the time in real life, it matters not what you do but the perception of what you do.
The person will mostly get the exam voided but will be allowed to write again.  It will be a lesson learned.
Last point, everyone who gets caught will say the samething you have said (whether they actually did or not), how is the proctor or CFAI going to decide who’s guilty and who’s not?  So just listen when told to do so
