People seem to be anticipating the worst possible outcomes for what might happen with the trial. Though from what I've read Ms. Adaar has already said that the consequences will not involve anything that can physically harm Ms. Swan. There aren't any laws established with consequences for magical mistakes yet. It might help once people have a clearer understanding of what the consequences will be.
Hopefully no one's voice gets silenced in all of this because the victims have every right to be angry and voice their feelings as the ones who are trying to look out for Ms. Swan's rights. Balancing that is never easy.
