Martha Corey is on trial. She was put on trial in Salem, Massachusetts as part of the infamous Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s.
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Giles Corey interrupts the court during the trial of his wife, Martha Corey, who is accused of witchcraft. Since Act 2, the charges against Martha have intensified, reflecting the growing hysteria and the court's escalating willingness to accept dubious evidence. Initially, accusations were more personal and less formalized, but by this point, the court has adopted a more aggressive stance, leading to severe consequences for those accused. Giles's interruption emphasizes the desperation and injustice surrounding the trials as the community spirals further into paranoia.
Giles Corey was accused of witchcraft. When he went to trial he refused to make a plea, similar to the innocent and guilt of our day. That meant they couldn't try him. The tried pressing him under stones to force him to speak. He never did and the weight finally crushed him on September 19th, 1692.
Giles Corey escapes being condemned as a wizard during the Salem witch trials primarily because of his refusal to enter a plea, which ultimately leads to his death by pressing rather than a trial for witchcraft. His steadfastness and silence protect him from the court's judgment, as he neither admits guilt nor claims innocence. Additionally, his status as a respected landowner in the community may have contributed to the reluctance to label him a wizard, despite the accusations against him.
Antonio had not paid back the loan to Shylock on time, so Shylock was applying to the court for an order saying that Shylock was legally entitled to take a pound of Antonio's flesh as their agreement stated.
Mary Warren, in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," expresses her belief that the trial is unjust and that the accusations are based on hysteria rather than truth. She states, "I cannot, I cannot... I am too afraid." This indicates her role as a conflicted character caught between the pressure of the other girls and her conscience, as she oscillates between supporting the court's proceedings and recognizing their inherent injustice. Ultimately, her testimony reflects the fear and manipulation present in the Salem witch trials.

I'm assuming that you're asking about Giles Corey, who was pressed to death when he refused to plead in court.
The victims of the trials were hanged. However, Giles Corey was pressed to death under stones when he refused to enter a plea during his trial.

I looked up the trial transcripts and they didn't have lawyers. The people arrested were tried in a special civil court and were questioned by the court. One hundred and fifty were imprisoned and 19 "witches" were hung. Giles Corey was pressed to death ( big rocks put on his chest until he died).
you can get a Philippine municipal trial court clearance at your Municipal Trial Court :D
A trial court is the court of original jurisdiction.
Giles Corey, September 19, 1692. According to legend, his last words were "More weight," as more stones were placed on him and he died.
Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that. A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision. If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.
