The term you are looking for is "trial." During a trial, evidence is presented and examined to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused.
People should be accused of crimes if there is some substantial evidence that they have committed them. You do not have to be proven guilty in order to be accused, because if a person is not accused, there won't be a trial, and there will therefore be no opportunity to prove either guilt or innocence in a legal sense.
Tucker was brought to trial because he was accused of committing a crime and there was enough evidence to warrant a trial to determine his guilt or innocence. The trial is a legal process where evidence is presented and a verdict is reached by a judge or jury.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Tom Robinson is falsely accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, he is convicted by an all-white jury due to the racial prejudices of the time. Tom's injustice highlights the systemic racism and injustice present in the legal system and society.
The suspect was innocent but, the judge thought he was guilty.
Question is not entirely clear but you may be referring to the "jury". These are peers of the accused who are asked to listen to the evidence and decide his/her guilt or innocence.
Cullen Davis was accused of murdering two people in 1976, but he was acquitted of the charges. He has maintained his innocence and there is no concrete evidence to prove that he committed the murders.

Surely this is a joke? News for you, its not funny.
Two methods were: - trial by ordeal, in which the accused had to pass a dangerous test, like thrown into a well, and - trial by combat, in which he had to fight to prove his innocence. The two methods for deciding the guilt or innocence of accused criminals in the early middle ages were trial by combat or ordeal.
