I believe it is A. They have bias towards the accuser. Bias is generally frowned upon in the court of law—considering the sixth amendment calls for a fair, impartial jury. (Although everyone has bias, some is just more prominent.)

I apologize if anything is incorrect, I’m not too well versed in law matters.
