If she is innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or Abigail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning as clean as God's fingers? I'll tell you what's walking Salem-vengeance is walking Salem. We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law! This warrant's vengeance! I'll not give my wife to vengeance!
This reminded me of the Duke Lacrosse Case. In both cases if the defense were to be proved innocent they still were going to be stained for the rest of their life just because they had been accused of the crime, and in both cases the defense was innocent and the accused was always assumed to be innocent even though in both cases they weren't as clean as the accused. Unfortunately for Proctor the only difference between the two cases was that Duke was proven innocent.
