Then others began to take the stand, including Bishop's neighbor, a tailor named John, who said that he had a lasting affair with Bishop on a full moon night.

Bishop was 55 years old at the time. She was haggard and dirty, exuding a sour smell, but she was always stunningly beautiful during her "night visits", not to mention that Bishop's and the tailor's orchards were close to each other.

People have had many disputes over border issues.

Then the Sheriff showed up and testified that Bishop liked to hang out in the bedrooms of young men and incapacitate them, symptoms that were related to another kind of "magic."

During the retrial, a case from seventeen years ago was uncovered. She hired two workers to demolish a wall, and there were actually several puppets placed in the wall. Bishop was forced to provide a reasonable explanation.

Since she had overheard the "Catch-22" in the 17th century legal system, self-incrimination was not a problem. Bishop did not hire a lawyer, insisting that she was innocent and had no intention of defending herself against a man.

Fantasy is responsible.

Then the tailor said that a devil came to the orchard, and it told the tailor that he would fulfill his wish. But the tailor saw at a glance that it was brought by Bishop and wanted to control him. He shouted "God give me power" and put him to death.

The devil was driven away.

Bishop asked for help from the people around her, begging them to clear her name, but no one was willing to do so. Then one day, she accidentally looked up at the ceiling of the wooden building, and a piece of wood fell from the upstairs and rolled on the ground.

There was silence for a while, and then the trial went extremely smoothly.

Normally the girls would act like they were under a spell in court, moaning and contorting, but this time they acted calmly.

In the 17th century, juries must determine the facts of a case based on the evidence presented in court. However, in the absence of sufficient evidence, strong suspicion can also convict the defendant. This is called "reasonable doubt." The judge will instruct the jury "If

You believe", "if you are satisfied or not satisfied by the evidence", "satisfy conscience" and other words, where "satisfy conscience" is borrowed from casuistry. This is not the result of intuition or emotional thinking, conscience is

The part of a rational being that can distinguish right from wrong.

A person's reputation plays a decisive role. Before 1705, jury members were composed of nearby residents, and preferably the person was the defendant or someone who knew the case. The jury was both a witness and a judge. After 1705, it was not allowed to

Someone you know joins the jury.

These unrelated "evidences" were therefore linked together by "reasonable suspicion", and Bishop's crime was established without conclusive evidence.

When making closing arguments, the judge said: The court does not need to prove whether witchcraft caused harm to people, it only needs to prove that witchcraft was performed. This is the meaning of the law.

Therefore, the crime that convicted Bishop was not that she seduced men, but that she beguiled an unknown village girl.

When Bishop was hanged, everyone nearby came. The people who were watching almost crowded the First Church. People were smiling and urged her to climb up the ladder quickly. It took nearly an hour to hang her.

In the process, people got cathartic joy, no one felt creepy, and no one suffered from the grotesqueness. On the second day of Bishop's execution, five hundred "Indians" and French raided Wells,

There were shouts and gunshots everywhere, as well as flaming arrows. The New England immigrants felt that they were like dragons, opening their bloody mouths and swallowing up the villagers.

After the French Revolution, the 1791 legislation defined the accusation of witchcraft as an "imaginary crime" and deleted it from the statute books.

The Carolingian Code eliminated evil spirits, and spectators no longer had to see girls rolling their eyes and foaming at the mouth in court.

In the fairy tale, Elisa was not harassed because of the protection of the little devil and the water demon, until she met Henry, a dreamer who was fearless.

Neither the little devil nor the water monster wants to touch human jealousy and anger, nor does it take over Alisa's body like Asmodeus and make her lose her husband. How does it look like a devil?

There is also a fairy tale about a girl with hare lips who fell in love with a passing soldier. Her mother saw it but said nothing. Until the girl became pregnant and the soldier disappeared without a trace, the girl had no choice but to

Killed unborn children.

After that, she became depressed and deeply blamed herself for her behavior. At this time, her mother jumped out and accused her of being ignorant.

In order to appease the Lord's anger, she suggested that her daughter come to the gallows and end her life.

After the cold rope was put around the girl's neck, the mother, who watched her daughter's execution with others, asked her, "What else do you want to say to your mother who loves you the most?"

The girl with hare lips looked at her mother coldly and angrily, because her mother gave birth to her as a monster, her father left, her mother always wanted her to die, and now she finally got her wish.

"I curse you and will not rest in peace in the grave! It was your hypocrisy that pushed me into the abyss."

Then the girl kicked off the wood from her feet and hung herself in front of everyone.

Why does Eliza have to choose the handsome Henry? He can come or go, but what if she is pregnant with a child?

Second Salem took in many orphans who were abandoned for various reasons. They taught the children to sing nursery rhymes.

Children don't know the content of the nursery rhyme they sing, so how can others teach them how to sing it? However, it is easy to remember and it is very convenient for Pomona to use it for teaching.

It's a pity that they are people who want to do big things, whether it is to rebuild the world or save the world, they don't want to live a stable life like women.

It is not impossible for Muggles to enter the magical world, but they must meet the requirements. "Adventures" are not available to everyone. If Jacob did not mind his own business and rescued Riley who was being harassed by gangsters, he would not have any chance to enter the magical world.

Maybe this is the reason why she drew the Knight of Swords.

The saddle was decorated with birds and butterflies, and she thought of the female dragon knight Fegel who danced the "Iron Butterfly" with a steel sword.
