Emphasis on suspected.

I agree that the question, as phrased, would be interesting and you'd probably be right that a lot of people would condone or even engage in mob justice. Given this thread, however, it seems that the actual question posed is the one I formulated.

As a side note, my formulation would also be the one to find out how likely people are to presume guilt, as the original formulation confirms guilt directly in the prompt.
