Her only crime was being much smarter and more beautiful than others. Her grace and flawless natural beauty, her wonderful long, shiny red hair and especially her knowledge of the healing powers of natural medicine as well as her pet were her downfall. She had to repeatedly resist the unbridled desire of a rich and influential village dignitary, a distant acquaintance of her father, to marry him, in order to then obey him unreservedly. A bossy, ruthless man who did not tolerate any contradiction and was used to taking whatever he wanted. That's what happened to her too. He found an excuse, invited her to him and took what he wanted by force. She scratched his already unsightly face and gave him a kick that hit a sensitive spot and immediately fell him like a rotten old tree. She fled to her father and told her what was happening to her. He comforted his child as best he could and promised to report the nefarious act. That didn't happen. She was arrested before dawn and taken to the dungeons. The old lecher, offended, humiliated and (even more) disfigured, immediately reported her and accused her of crimes: burglary, ambush attack, attempted theft, most serious bodily harm in two cases, treacherous attempted murder as a cover-up act. The court judged the crime to be a deliberate and particularly insidious attempt to enrich oneself through robbery. The narrative of father and daughter was not believed as a transparent, clumsy attempt to avoid deserved punishment. Witnesses to her escape and character witnesses for the plaintiff were also heard. This further brought the court's focus to further offenses allegedly committed by the defendants. Collecting herbs by moonlight in the forest for the purpose of poisoning. Upsurge of immoral feelings and unchaste thoughts in men and women of all ages due to inappropriate covering of her figure, a ways too lovely face that is far too happy and deliberately moving their young body gracefully in order to arouse immoral desires. She is also said to have looked into the faces of other well-shaped young women and girls several times for a longer time and smiled encouragingly when greeting them and when they met by chance. In order to seduce them into doing deeds, the court assumed. It found her guilty of witchcraft and attempting to promote depravity among young and old of both sexes. Owning a black cat and her bright red hair didn't help exonerate her. The verdict was death by fire at the stake. It was carried out 45 days later in the market square of Salem village, Massachusetts in the USA on a dark, cold evening of November, 1692. The long period of time after the verdict was announced was extensively used to conduct extremely distressing and painful questioning with the help of people who were often only partially or completely unclothed mostly but not only male interrogators to obtain a late confession in order to confirm the appropriateness of the verdict. That didn't work because even tortured victims have dignity and pride. For perpetrators, on the other hand, false pride in their sacrilegious, shameful actions is enough. Their fate after death is likely to be to burn in hell for all eternity. This is what is intended in the great cosmic simulation that makes our existence and everything else possible.
