Senators in a US State have voted to absolve 12 women and men convicted of witchcraft – 11 of whom were executed — more than 370 years ago and to apologise for the “miscarriage of justice”.
The Senators in Connecticut voted 33-1 in favour of a resolution that officially proclaims their innocence.
It marked the culmination of years of effort by a group called the CT Witch Trial Exoneration Project, made up of history buffs and descendants.
