Sarah Osburn wanted to clear her sisters? names of being accused of witch craft. So she went to a group of Judges, She gave them all kinds of different pieces of evidence Some of the evidence was that all of the accused and hanged were land owners and there sons were almost eligible to vote and make other important decisions. She also presented them with a map of all the land boundaries. She did this to show that most people where accused over land. So this was pointless. Some of the accused did confess because the ones who confessed were not hanged or pressed.

One person who confessed was Doss y because her mother told her no mater what confess to them. How ever some people Just wouldn? t confess. One was Sara Osburn, who was hanged. In another case Gil is Cory would not confess so he was pressed to death. I really think that was pointless cause what did it mater if they confessed or not.

Well they had a different theory. Witch was that if someone confess of there sin they could be cleansed. Another person who took this way was the real guilty one Tita ba she confessed and was set free. These pointless witch trails finally stopped when the minister higher then Samuel Paris decided spectral evidence could not be use alone to conduct these pointless trails.

I think that the stupidest punishment was excommunication because I don? t think some man can tell God who he can and can not communicate with. I also think that it was really sad that all these people had to lose there lives over nothing. Although Anne Putman Jr. apologized I don? t think that was good enough. I think she should have had to pay some kind of big fine and give up some of her land.

But over all I think that this was a really good movie even thought it was sad.
