There's probably rules in place as well. If you know who killed someone, I doubt they'd let you go around telling everyone. Your team makes sense, because it's a game and winning means you'll have to be sneaky sometimes. But not everyone.
The rulebook only specifies not giving out the answer if you're the culprit... "in the spirit of the trial". But I suppose in the same spirit, if you knew beforehand, even if you didn't do it... you would be discouraged somehow from sharing it.
It says there's a "consequence," in the rulebook. But it doesn't specify what that means.
