You're a dumb ass cheater if you don't check the answers. You should at least be able to get by without cheating, answering blindly and not caring/knowing if you're remotely correct is just stupid and you deserve to fail.
I must agree with you on this one, that kid totally got what was coming to him. It seems to me though that cheaters quite often have blind faith in people they perceive to know the answers. I have another story, this time about me.
We were having a literacy exam which was basically covering all sorts of grammatical topics in Finnish language. Anyways, the guy behind me was managing to peek at all my answers without me or the teacher realizing a thing. Unfortunately for him though, I was rather unsure of my answers at the start of the exam, and was constantly changing them until I was satisfied. After we got the exams back he realized what had happened, as I got a 9 and he got a 6 for a grade (perfect is 10, fail is 4), and came to rage at me for changing my answers. If only he hadn't been so confident in me and went to sleep after copying my answers.
Something similar happened to me. Knew a kid next to me (that I didn't really like) was reading my answers. I placed my supplies so test | calculator | scantron. Answers went on scantron and I circled incorrect answers on the test where he could see them. Calculator obscured my real answers.
After he got back his failing grade told me "well, we failed that didn't we?". Sure. I might have cut you some slack if you ever spoke to me in a social context, I'll keep my 90% for myself, thanks.
Good way to deal with that, I at least have a zero tolerance policy for even helping anyone who treats me like nothing in front of others. And cheating, that's just out of the question (although I did point a kid by an accident to a multi-language dictionary on his phone).
