How would you know if people were guilty in the middle ages?

Unless the person confessed or there was a witness to a crime finding a person guilty was very hard. Many crimes were also not recognized as a crime, but an accident. Murder was one of these that was often mistaken as an accident. Some people were also accused of crimes that were innocent and were found guilty of committing the crime they were accused of. Superstition ruled the world, so if a person was a little different, had a disability, or in someway not seen as "normal" they were often accused as having caused a suspected death or event.One way to solve if the person was really guilty is called Ordeal by Water. What they would do is chain them to an iron ball and throw the victim into the sea. If the float, that meant he/she was guilty of the crime and if they sink it meant that he/she was innocent and would be saved.Another is called Ordeal by Fire. They would boil an iron ball and give it to the victim. The victim would be bandaged and if 3 days later the blister is as big as a walnut it meant the victim was guilty.
