I wouldn’t say that it is common knowledge but it is well known for people who study the era. There are two ways of looking at it.
1. She was a pregnant teenager and the NAACP didn’t want to put her through the difficulties of being in the national spotlight and all of that while being a teen mom.
2. The NAACP didn’t think she was a good image for the movement.
Like most things the truth is probably a mix of the two of those

So instead they just let her face a racist prosecution alone.

If your number one had any truth to it, they would have still assisted her with her case.
