    What’s the point of rehashing stuff that happened more than 300 years ago? Who is getting justice in that scenario?

      The dead, I suppose.

      I mean, exonerating her after she’s dead doesn’t unkill her.

      But if you’ve already opened that can of worms, you’ve got to deal with all of the worms, and so convicting the people that falsely accused her of the crime of witchcraft of having actually committed a crime would be just as symbolically meaningful, if not more so.
