you should have mentioned, that the witch finders bodkin, had a retractable blade, so of course, it did not penetrate the flesh, so drew no blood. a simple trick

The music was a little bit intrusive. What bothers me is that once the pretty woman was let off why weren't the rest of the accused retried?

Very informative but music is too loud and detracts from the story.
