Hale:...this argument let lawyers present to you |
Mr Hale, believe me, for a man of such terrible learning you are most bewildered--I hope you will forgive me. I have been thirty-two year at the bar and I should be confounded were I called upon to defend these people. let you consider now...and I bid you all do likewise. In an ordinary crime, how does one defend the accused? One calls up witnesses to prove his innocence. but witchcraft is ipso facto, on its surface, and by its nature an invisible crime is not? Therefore who may possibly be witness to it? The witch and her victims. None other. Now we cannot hope that the witch will accuse herself, granted? Therefore we must rely on her victims - and they do testify, the children certainly do testify. As for the witches, none will deny that we are most eager for their confession. Therefore what is left for a lawyer to bring out? I think I have made my point. |
witchcraft speech |
