To Suffer a Witch: Part 1

Just minutes before his death through illness, Charles Laker told his doctor that he believed he had been cursed. Adelaide Vincente, the head of a little-known Fulchester witches coven, stands accused of murder. A witness from the medical profession tells the court of a growing belief among doctors that causing death and injury by witchcraft is indeed possible. For some, the trial begins to revive memories of the witchcraft trials of the seventeenth century.
