The Court of Oyer and Terminer was the legal body formed by the governor to perform the Trials of the accused witches.
Martha Corey is on trial. She was put on trial in Salem, Massachusetts as part of the infamous Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s.
The Salem witch trials gave a reason for the use of spectral evidence in trial to be banned in court, something that hadn't happened before.
A trial court convenes juries, conducts trials and adjudicates defendants. An appeals court hears appeals of the trial court's trials - does not convene juries - does not conduct trials - and renders juedgements on the application of law and proper procedures.
After the Salem witch trials, Ezekiel Cheever continued his life in Salem, serving as a clerk of the court. He faced criticism for his role in the trials, particularly for his participation in the arrests and prosecutions of accused witches. Cheever later became involved in local politics and continued to work in the community, but his legacy remains closely tied to the controversial events of 1692. His actions during the trials have been scrutinized in historical accounts, reflecting the complex moral landscape of that period.
