No, the principle doesn't hold. They have logs here, there are fraps, everything can be documented in a highly controlled environment. If every crime occurred between the same two gangs, on video camera, and within a 12-block radius, there wouldn't be any reason for an appeals process. They're not policing an entire country with a hundred thousand different laws, they're policing a few zones in a video game with 3 or 4 rules that warrant suspension. Unlike in the real world, certainty is not only possible, it should be requisite for such a large-scale punishment.
If you're not sure, you don't make the call for a guild-wide raid suspension. If you are sure, you don't change your mind just because you're being harassed.

We submitted our own evidence and matched it up with the other submission to verify it. This was enough to make a difference. You're assuming perfect information exists. That is fallacious.
You're disallowing the possibility of error. The principle I cited absolutely does transfer. To use my previous example: this is a reason superior courts exist in the real world. Error can creep into a ruling at any level, and lack of corrective procedure is manifestly unjust.
Would you happily submit to a punishment that you believed, in good faith, to be erroneous?
I suspect you would not.
