People in those times were supersiticous . the church thought wolves were connected to satan.when early werewolf stories show otherwise.
Wolves were often blamed as werewolves an example is when a village thought their mayor was a werewolf. So they went looking killed a wolf and realizing it was not a werewolf. They then dressed the animal out.
The history of were-wolves is much older than you are saying here. First account is from ancient Greece, and even older than that are the cave paintings showing humans turning into animals, which are many thousands of years old.
It sounds like the interrogations were handled with physical torture which can have contradicting results because the suspect will just say anything to stop the pain.
My second guess is that people in that era were sensitive to change and controversy way more than people are now today. If someone was falsely accused, 90% of the time they will be punished especially if a high authority figure was convinced that the false allegations were true.
