The murder in the Villiage of Fowl Devotees...
The Daily Puntilio reported on the kids being murderers, and the Baudelaires were known to be murderous criminals by people who lived in different places. But...there was nothing legal about the entire thing. You can't just burn people to death.
Why were the Baudelaires considered to be criminals by the general public after this?

I think TVV overstates the situation in the US where some states have the death penalty while other states have no death penalty. It also ironicly represents religious communities that have their own laws.

I've always thought that the world of ASOUE is a world of city states, rather like ancient Greece: note also how Paltryville has a constitution. The show recognises this by calling it the 'Country of Districts', suggesting that it's the districts that are really significant.

I've never thought of it that way, that ASOUEland is not just one big country. The districts make it make a lot more sense.
I don't know that you could even call what happened a trial. They were just outside, Detective Dupin told the townspeople the Baudelaires were guilty of murder, and the townspeople believed them. As far as the newspaper picking up the story... they are a really terrible newspaper.
