00:00Trials had turned into a weapon. Anyone who questioned the court became suspicious.
00:06Anyone who spoke against the girls risked being accused. Even church members, soldiers
00:12and respected citizens were not safe. And then came the most shocking case of all.
00:19Giles Corey, an elderly man with a strong will. He refused to confess, refused to lie,
00:25and refused to fear. When the court demanded he plead guilty or not guilty, he stayed silent.
00:33For this, he was punished by a horrific method – pressing. Stones were placed on him,
00:40one by one. His chest crushed slowly under the weight. Witnesses begged him to give in.
00:48But Giles only spoke two words. More weight.
00:54He died without giving the court the satisfaction of a confession.
