    The Salem Witch Trials of 1692 forever changed our judicial system. Twenty innocent citizens from Salem all the way to Boston, Massachusetts were killed because they were falsely accused of Witchcraft. Nineteen men and women were hung and one man was pressed to death because he would not “admit” to practicing witchcraft. A lot of these deaths were the cause of ten “afflicted girls” who accused innocent men and women, in one case even a child, of practicing witchcraft and of tormenting them. While these trials were taking place the judges and jurors would torture the accused “witches” until they would confess, once they confessed they would spare their lives and imprison. If they continued to claim to be innocent they were hung from Gallows Hill, just outside of Salem, Massachusetts, changing our judicial system forever. (Goss, 2008)…
