- 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.—andymarlow
- Spoiler alert. A man has died after having been 'cursed' by the leader of a witches' covern (a 'maiden').
The 'maiden' is accused of mansalughter, but deines this by claiming that she was running a fraud to simply make money.
A priest who has written books on witchcraft attests to the reality of such curses.
The maiden's 'assistant' appears to have had a relationship with the deaseased, and is later accused of being a prostitiute the maiden.
A reporter claims to have taken photographs of the ceremony at which the participants disrobed.
Great performances by all, and a fine example of "Crown Court" at its most relativistic and postmodern.
