Because Gaius refuses to back down and refuses to support the tribunes’ call for land distribution for the plebs, he is found guilty and fined.

Similarly, the tribunes’ threat to dress in clothes of mourning if Hortensius proceeds with his prosecution of Gaius Sempronius is the factor that encourages Hortensius to drop his case: "The Roman people will not see their own tribunes in soiled (sordidatos) clothes" (4.42.8).
