Share power source frying pedal?

Today, a guitarist in my band accused me of frying his pedal because I plugged a powered speaker (Behringer) into the same power source (outlet) as him (I'm a vocalist). He said all of his pedals were "shocking" him and that the source of the problem and the fried pedal was the fact that I plugged the speaker into the same power source as his pedals and the mixer for the speaker was plugged into a different outlet (or not same as speaker).
Does this make sense? Are pedals that sensitive? He claims that somehow there was some kind of feedback through the power sources. He was really pissed and confronted me the minute we practiced after the gig.
Are there some rules/recommendations about how you power different amps and pedals and such?
