If someone says a thing or someone is bad, and another says it or they are good.
More seem to agree with the former. Even if proof of good is found later.Also if the bad
is very bad it's even more true.
Perhaps it's a defence responce, to play it safe. Where looking on the good side
takes optimisim.
People who are accused of child abuse are lookd down on as being guildty even if they
are later found to be innocent.
