Justice in Providence - The Case of Lizbeth Maudney

[Spazzmaticus]

Local agents in Providence have searched the homestead of the accused and have as of yet been unable to find the broom.

I knew it!

[KruskDaMangled]

The only thing the first witness has to say is that her broom was too tough, a broom that can not be found so may have been borrowed, and having sexual intercourse in her own back garden?

May I ask this one goodwife what exactly she was doing looking in Lizabeth Maudney's back garden late at night on a full moon? Would not a good christian woman have been asleep at this time and not watching her neighbors have sex?

I accuse the goodwife of lust after the partner of Ms/Mrs Maudney and demand her testimony be stricken from the record and she be tried for her own sins, as she clearly is no good christian woman, as they would not do such things!

Fornication, whether it be within or without tis' Fornication. (It might not of course, have been Fornication. It is known that Witches dance with the Devil.)

It is also the general practice of all and sundry to wake for about an hour in the night to pray, do small chores, visit neighbors, or any other needful thing. Naturally, the wicked use this hour for theft, and mischief, but Goody N might well have been engaged in sewing, or prayerful contemplation when she was alarmed by the unseemly racket caused by her lustful and shameful neigbour fornicating with some unknown person, or dancing with the Devil.

Whether it be Maudney or not that causes this disturbance in our Colony, The Devil works evil, that much is sure. Evil beasts, ungodly savages wearing the image of idolotrous devils, what is to be done?

Citizens of Providence,

Tonight, a large amount of coppers boulders spewed forth from the earth below our fair town. Local experts have determined that this was a natural occurrence and should in no way alter your votes on and after October 17th regarding the guilt/innocence of the accused. On behalf of the newly developed Providence Zoning Commission and Geological Survey Board, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Second testimony posted. Voting still on target for 10/17th start date.

The second witness to testify is M. A. Confirming he had never before met the accused, holds no ill will, etcetera, reported seeing the accused in his dreams. As has been well-documented, witches possess the abilities to visit God-fearing men and women in their sleep. M.A. states that the accused visited his dreams multiple times, visiting him like a succubus in the night and implanting in his head lecherous and forbidden thoughts, he being a devout man and married. The report goes on to detail the thoughts thus implanted into the otherwise pious mind of M.A., the details of which are too lewd for record. Suffice that they involve depravity in a series of lustful connections between appendages and orifices of both M.A. and the accused. What is more alarming, in his dreams M.A. bore witness to all manner of terrible creatures springing from the ground beneath the accused, some of which known only to legend. M.A., so terrified by these visions, came directly to the magistrate's office and, despite that they have ceased, cannot sleep properly for fear of witnessing further atrocities.

On the precedent set by M.A. I would like to accuse Cheena of witchcraft. Her posting in the IRL picture thread has put impure thoughts into my head.

[tack]

we better add smakaka to the list her image in the IRL thread has added a uncomftable bulge in my pants and some immoral ideas in my head she must be a witch too

yes i am older than most of you

it seems that although M.A. says he has never met the accused, it seems he is merely deep in love with the accused. maybe he saw her at market? maybe he simply dreamed of a beautiful girl and pasted her face in afterwards? i mean how else could he have gone to the magistrate and said "accused is a witch in my dreams" if he never met her before? he must have known WHO she is. otherwise all M.A. could have said, i dream lewd and depraved things. which would have marked M.A. a sinner.

all know that the devil can only come into ones mind when invited, as a witch gets her powers from satan the same is true for witches. as such IF true, M.A. is himself a sinner of the highest order.

Don't be silly. There is no indication that M.A. has ever had such dreams before, him being a pious man and confessing to the magistrate as soon he did, we must assume there was a special cause to such events. Witchcraft would be such a special cause.

Or M.A. has finally reached his puberty
