Although The Bible is not specific, it is probably because he was king and held power over men. Other people would be too afraid to ask for his punishment for fear of retribution from the king.

Further, it was known that David had been favoured by God, and had helped the people immensely. It would be hard for God-fearing Jews to condemn their benefactor and the leader of the entire nation. Eventually God punished David for his misdeeds.
