Because not being guilty of something is not the same as not having done that thing. Guilty in a legal sense requires evidence beyond “this is what happened.” Now, how strongly we react to information that cannot be dealt with in a court of law (this situation, for example) is up for debate, but if your solution is to deal with it in court or barring that possibility stay silent forever, then I don’t think that’s a fair or understanding solution for these people.
