Well, honey, Cheever found a poppet with a needle stuck in it in Elizabeth's house. And wouldn't you know it, that same night Abigail Williams was found with a needle stuck in her belly. Talk about some bad juju. Looks like Elizabeth's got some explaining to do, whether she's guilty or just really unlucky.
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Elizabeth Proctor undermines her own defense during her trial by lying about her husband's affair with Abigail Williams, believing she is protecting John’s reputation. Her attempt to maintain his honor backfires, as the court interprets her dishonesty as evidence of guilt, leading to further suspicion against both her and John. This tragic misstep highlights the devastating consequences of personal integrity clashing with the hysteria of the Salem witch trials.

She goes along with it. But eventually shows many signs of guilt, which includes making a doll of Elizabeth Proctor.
Tension between John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth arises primarily from Proctor's guilt over his affair with Abigail Williams, which creates distrust and emotional distance in their marriage.

Additionally, the broader context of the witch trials exacerbates their strain, as Proctor struggles with his conscience and the moral implications of the accusations surrounding them.

Clearing, or tending to clear, from alleged fault or guilt; excusing.
No, the suspect's admission to guilt does not necessarily provide conclusive evidence in the case.
The prosecution will show the evidence and present the testimony that indicates guilt. The defending attorney will try to punch holes in the evidence and testimony. The jury then decides what the facts are based on the testimony and evidence.
Yes, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence in a trial. The prosecution presents evidence to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defense presents evidence to create doubt or support the defendant's innocence. Both sides have the opportunity to call witnesses, introduce documents or physical evidence, and present arguments to support their case.
Exculpatory evidence frees your suspect from guilt. Hide it if you can
