Giles Corey was not hanged during the Salem witch trials because he refused to enter a plea, choosing instead to be pressed to death under heavy stones. His defiance was a form of protest against the court's proceedings, and he sought to protect his property for his family. By not pleading, he avoided the stigma of being labeled a witch, and his death became a symbol of resistance against the injustice of the trials.

Why does Giles Corey refuse to answer the charges?
If Giles pleads guilty, he will be granted spiritual reconcilliation; and be hanged. If he pleads innocent, he will be found guilty and will be hanged while his soul is condemned to an eternity in hell. Both scenarios would result in the crown stripping him of his land and assets leaving his sons and wife starving and penniless. By remaining silent, the courts can neither confirm or deny his innocence; and as a result cannot take away his property. By enduring torture in silence, Giles ensured his families longevity by sacrificing his life.
