No, what they’re saying is that most people already presume guilt, even if it’s just an accusation. Further, most would be willing to engage in mob justice. I feel like you’re doing a lot of work to miss that point.

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.
