In Salem, during the time of the witch trials depicted in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the court is primarily led by Deputy Governor Danforth. He presides over the proceedings and wields significant influence over the judges, including Judge Hathorne. The court's authority is characterized by its strict adherence to spectral evidence and a fervent belief in the existence of witchcraft, leading to numerous wrongful accusations and executions.
