Tom is frightened after the trial in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" because he realizes the gravity of the situation regarding the wrongful conviction of Muff Potter, who is innocent of the murder. Tom struggles with the guilt of knowing the truth while being pressured to remain silent. Additionally, he fears the potential repercussions from Injun Joe, who is a dangerous figure, further adding to his anxiety. This inner conflict leaves Tom feeling unsettled and afraid for both himself and Muff.
