For my witch trail, i said that i was a witch and that everything was true. When i was accused i was put in jail for about a day or until my final trial. When i confessed to being a witch i was let go to live my life. If i was really that person during that time i would be very scared, but since i'm not i found the trial boring. I didn't know that confessing to being a witch could possibly save your life even if you aren't a witch, also even if your family, friends, and neighbors say that you aren't a witch also then you would still die and no one would listen to them.

For the witch trail i said that i was a wich and had witnessed spectral evidence towards another woman. In turn i lived but for what cost? my fellow good wife dies so i may live. These were the challenges they were faced with. Also, i inferred, that i must have shamed my family. It made me feel like a boss because i lived but also sad because others died at my hand even though they were innocent.
ReplyDeleteI was guilty. After I was found guilty I was sent to jail to await the day I was going to be hung. but then all the thing they were saying didn't make scenes. like one moment we were talking about me the next we were talking about god. what was that all about? but besides that it was sorta cool even tho I died.
ReplyDeleteI pleaded not guilty because i wanted my family name to go unsoiled. I was hung by my neck until dead. The experience made me feel sad because the same thing that "happened" to me happened to 25 other people. I learned that they had two trails one to get you to confess and one to sentence you to death
ReplyDeletewhen i was doing th trial i was found guilty of witchcraft and was sentanced to be hung. i thought this was unethical and i did not deserve to die. this made me feel bad for the people who did nothing rong and got hung because of thair friends. i also learnd that they had two trials. also ian dont you mean you were pleadedc guilty?
ReplyDeleteIn my trial, I pleaded not guilty. I did this beacausse it was the truth, and even if I died, it would maybe help someone else live in the future. I was found guilty, and was going to be hanged. I was hanged with about 5 other people, and that was where my journey had ended. The experience to me was weird because they were talking about people back then, which I didn't really understand. I learned that the witch trials was a scary time for a lot of people, and a lot of people died when they didn't have to.
ReplyDeleteFor my witch trial I pleaded guilty. I would rather have admitted it & survived, than denied it & have been killed, or punished very harshly. My sentence was to be put in prison & then be released to live the rest of my life. That experience made me feel awful because, it's horrible that people had died, even an infant had died, when in reality they really weren't witches. I learned that many people
ReplyDeletehave died, while very innocent. It's just not fair.
I pleaded not guilty in my trial. The sentence that i got was death. This expierience made me feel glad that im alive now instead of back then. I learned that even if you tell the truth, people might still not believe you. Also, i learned that hanging is way more painful than i thought it was. It's bad!

In my trial, I said I was a witch. Because I admitted it, I survived but my family name will be ruined and everyone will possibly be afraid of me. After going through the trial I felt bad for all the other innocent people who were killed or hated for being falsely accused.
ReplyDeleteI pleaded not guilty. This is because I told them that I wasn't really a witch. I was in jail during my trail, but then I was freed. This made me feel sad becasue if I was innocent I still could of been killed butI was freed. If I would really feel like I could never really be back at home. I learned that neighbors lied about seeing a neighbor doing witch things like flying and turning into a red hawk. It is sad that some people lied about this-why would you?
ReplyDeleteAfter I went through the witch trail I Plead guilty. Even though I wasn't I felt pressured and It was almost like the people talked me in to beliving I was a witch, I also thoght that I might have a chance of surving. I was sentenced to a day in jail then I could be free with everyone in my town looking at me like I was crazy and I had this quilt.What Iave learn from this is that alot of innocent people were accused from things they did not do and some died from it. I think this is really sad that there were alot of people lost from this.

In my trial I pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail for a few days until finally let free and though my family name will be ruined and dishonored I continue to live. This experience made me feel that life is not fair and that nothing in life is fair and that in life people do accuse each other of being guilty of a crime they haven't committed and be punished for it. Something that I learned about the Salem Witch Trials before we started studying it was that most people who confessed being a witch were set free and that no one would really find out who was actually a witch and any one accused would be arrested and put on trial.
ReplyDeleteIn my witch trial I pleaded guilty at first. It was such a shameful thing to blame others when I knew it was complete nonsense. I was put into jail then later released. All the pressure of the words coming at me in the simulation must have been horrible in real life. People accusing you of being something silly like a witch, when really your neighbor hates you... Ugh that would be bad. Life isn't fair and this simulation showed me that. You can't always believe everything that people say.
ReplyDeleteI was luckily plede not guilty. I was luckily set free. It made me feel like I'm lucky because right now I'm not guiltly of anything but if I would be punish it wouldn't as bad as this. That the witch trial was really long and boring but yet very suspencful because it's pretty much like a zero-tolerence policy, one mistake and I could be done.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was doing the trial I pleaded not guilty. after a few days in jail, I was released. although this wasn't real, I feel bad for the people who had to actually do this. I feel this way, because it is unfair to the people who where Innocent. Although confessing is also lying, I don't blame them, because it saved their lives.
ReplyDeleteThis was very interesting, in previous lesson in class we learend some woman said they were guilty to ascape death, it sounded rather resonable so i went with it. After the fact i relized i was now under the spot light and i had to Lie about seeing a friend of mines spector.this woman died. I feel like it was unfair and rather sad, and i feel very selfish for choosing my life over hers

ReplyDeletefor the witch trials pepole accused me for a witch. so I was put in jail after the last court i confessed that I was a witch. So I could save my life and I did. And I did not know it was so hard not to be witch beacuse so much pepole randomly accuse you as a witch if are world was like that toady I think I would be hung. VLADIMIR BODNAR $$$
ReplyDeleteI decided to plead not-guilty BAD IDEA. This really was very crazy I could not see how this would happen in real life. Oh yes and I was hanged. Very creepy.
ReplyDeletewhen i did my witch trial, i pleaded guilty, because i'd rather fess up and say i was a witch rathen then being killed. i was sentenced to jail for 2 nights only because i fessed up. this experience made me feel bad for the people that had to go through this, its horrible. i learned that if you dont fess up that you were a witch, you would be gone.
ReplyDeleteIn the witch trials, i pleaded not guilty. I wanted my family to not have to live in embarrassment. But after many court trials. They found me guilty. I was handcuffed once again after they found a purple witches mark on the back of my left leg. My sentence was to be hung. The experience for me was kind of confusing but more interesting at the end. I learned that so many people could be humiliated for a crime that they themselves have not done, but for what the family has done.

Kelly Le's With Trail Experience;
ReplyDeleteFor my witch trail, I pleaded that I was NOT a witch. That everything I was accused for and what people believed in was not true. So then the court decided to put my in jail for 24 hours. Then, they would finally set me free. Even though I thought this was a reasonable punishment, I do believe that it is also not. I am very innocent. Even though my neighbor and I did have a fight a month ago does not mean she should accuse me guilty of being a witch, when no such thing could even come to my brain. This made my extremely anger.
Let's say, if William and I did have a fight, and suddenly he got so sick and tired of it we could plead me guilty, and then get his family to plead me guily just because of disliking. That was a risk of dying.Losing your life, losing your kid, losing everything that you are grateful for. That is what most women had to go through before. Now you tell me how that is fair.
XOXO, Kelly Le.
When i went through the witch trial i pleaded to be guilty so that i would get out of being killed. I did not stutter when they asked i was straight up and said i was a witch, even thought i had not even seen any witch craft ever in my life. My family would not ever let me watch or have any witch craft in my life. The only reason people think i do witch craft is because i look like a witch or a witch to be.
ReplyDeletefor my witch trial i just told them i was a witch because eaither way they would not beilive you if you did tell them the truth. i learned that many poeple died during those times and that they were vary harsh.this make me feel bad for the people that got no chance in the cort room and that many died for not doing anything.

I pleaded and pleaded not guilty. I spent 2 days in jail. I felt mad. Witch suspects wern't always sentenced to death.
ReplyDeletefor my trial, i pleaded guilty because i learned from law and order that you usually get a lesser sentance. i spent a few days in jail then i was released. i was sad to learn that many innocent people died just due to prejudice. i also learned of how many people hated you because odd events just happpen around you
