What were your choices if you were accused of witchcraft in Salem?

If you were accused of witchcraft, you could A) Blame someone else and get away with just a few years in jail. B) Keep insisting it is not you. C) Admit that you are a witch and die quickly. They burned you and if you didn't die you were a witch. Also the tied rocks to you and threw you into a river and if you didn't die, you were a witch. I know, very unfair.
