People were often afraid to stand up for the accused due to societal pressure and the fear of backlash. In many cases, public opinion was heavily influenced by sensational media coverage or prevailing prejudices, leading to a hostile environment for dissenting voices. Additionally, standing up for the accused could result in personal repercussions, such as social ostracism, threats, or even legal consequences. This fear of retribution often silenced those who might have otherwise defended the accused.
