The infamous Salem witch trials, which took place in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693, were a dark period in America's legal history. More than 200 people were wrongfully accused of practicing witchcraft, and 20 were executed. In the 328 years since, most of the accused have been cleared of any crimes. However, for reasons unknown, Elizabeth Johnson Jr., who was just 22 at the time, was never pardoned.

- sokeefe_forever3년 이상This is really sad. I mean some people back then practiced witchcraft, but most that were put to death didn't. There was no proof at all. I'm glad that people actually take the time to investigate before sentencing to anything nowadays.
