Lawyer Up: Witch Trial

Between February 1692 and May 1693 more than two hundred people were accused of being witches in colonial Massachusetts. This case takes a look at this infamous time in America’s history, where mass hysteria is taking hold of the judicial system.

The Witch Trial does away with the jury and is instead lead by an angry mob who is ready to hang anybody they believe is a witch. The goal of the Prosecution is to hang 3 witnesses as witches before they run out of cards. The defense is scrambling to keep the mob under control and prevent a full blown witch hunt!
