The accused robber took the stand to testify in his own defense, presenting his version of events to the court. He aimed to challenge the prosecution's evidence and portray himself as innocent of the charges. By testifying, he hoped to sway the jury's opinion and provide a personal narrative that could lead to an acquittal. His testimony was a critical component of his defense strategy.
Two methods were: - trial by ordeal, in which the accused had to pass a dangerous test, like thrown into a well, and - trial by combat, in which he had to fight to prove his innocence. The two methods for deciding the guilt or innocence of accused criminals in the early middle ages were trial by combat or ordeal.
In the early Middle Ages, two common methods for determining the guilt of accused criminals were trial by ordeal and trial by combat. Trial by ordeal involved subjecting the accused to a painful or dangerous test, with the belief that divine intervention would reveal their innocence or guilt based on the outcome. Trial by combat allowed the accused and their accuser to engage in a physical fight, with the victor presumed to be favored by God and thus deemed innocent. Both methods reflected the era's reliance on superstition and physical evidence rather than formal legal proceedings.
To ways that people (mostly women) were tested was: 1. A lake would be blest, the the person who was accused would have there hands and ankles tied together then lowered into the lake, if the person floated and lived he/she would be a witch then killed, but if he/she drowned she would be dead then proved that he/she wasn't a witch. 2. The person accused would have to carry a peace of hot coal around the town two times, when finished if the persons hands were burnt then they would be let go, but if they where fine they would kill you. EDIT: During the Salem Trials, the accused were not given the benefit of a fair test. The Touch Test, the afflicted's testimony and the Witch's Teat were the only evidence or tests employed. The Touch Test, in which the accused would touch the bewitched while in a fit and if the fit ended the agent to cause it had returned to the accused witch by touch, could be rigged because the afflicted could choose to recover if they were faking, which is the most supported theory. The afflicted could have easily lied. And the Witch's Teat, a blemish that would not bleed or cause pain is pricked, was ALWAYS fake. The examiners used dull pins.
A ducking stool was a punishment device used in Tudor times, primarily for women accused of witchcraft, gossiping, or other perceived misconduct. It consisted of a chair attached to a beam that could be lowered into water, effectively dunking the person. The intent was to humiliate and potentially "test" the accused, as drowning was believed to indicate guilt. This method reflected the era's harsh attitudes toward social order and discipline.
