"The only way to keep the criminal justice system honest is to presume that all judicial procedures are as unjust as the Salem witch trials unless there is clear evidence to the contrary."

There would be even fewer members of the public prepared to give evidence for the prosecution and, perhaps, nobody would consider it worthwhile reporting crime at all if they felt that everybody automatically assumed they were liars. Likewise, nobody would want to appear on a jury or risk producing a guilty verdict.

Of course, if one does have knowledge and access to evidence, then by all means challenge a court's findings but public forums such as these are not the most effective means of doing so.

Perhaps Lizzie does have some inside knowledge of these cases but she should take it to the authorities. Perhaps, she could even have volunteered to become a witness for the defence during the trial?
