The jury collectively agrees that this man is an evildoer and has commited murder.

Do you say" Yes, let's kill him so he can't murder anybody else—evidence points to him being a killer"

or

Do you say "No, let's spare his life because he's my friend and that would be a nice thing to do."

I think it is quite justified if the bad-willed citizens vote innocent so they don't appear as a sore thumb (and in town of salem, if somebody votes against a heavy majority, they tend to be put on trial) or becaues the person they are voting innocent on actually has strategic importance to that evildoer (i.e. calls the evildoer innocent, takes up town's attention, a witch, etc.). I also think it's not justified that someone would innocent their friend just because they're their friend.

Also, no, Jesters specifically "haunt" their targets and make them feel guilty. Jesters are considered evil. That's fair.

Anyway this role has basically been denied so there's no use argueing anymore.
