Giles Corey was a farmer and landowner in Salem Village, Massachusetts. He is most famously known for his role in the Salem witch trials of 1692, during which he was accused of witchcraft. Rather than plead guilty or innocent, Corey famously refused to enter a plea, leading to his brutal execution by pressing, a method of torture involving heavy stones. His steadfastness and tragic fate have made him a notable figure in American history.
