Who Is Giles Corey Guilty In The Crucible

Bridget Bishop was found guilty of practicing witchcraft and was sentenced to death. She was hanged at Proctor’s Ledge, a small hill near Gallows Hill; she was the first victim of the trials. Other people who were also hanged were Rebecca Nurse and John Proctor, along with sixteen others. One of the victims that had a painful death was Giles Corey, who refused to plead guilty. For this reason, he was tortured until he pleaded, but he never did. His punishment was being pressed, which is when a person is laid on the ground with a board placed on top of them, and heavy stones are placed on top of them until the weight is too much for them, so they either enter a plea or die. In spite of being tortured for three days, Giles never pleaded guilty
