Talk:Pricking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Unclear?

In the second section of this article, it refers to tools being used that could release blood to ensure guilt. This does not appear to make sense, because the accused would only be named a witch if the area of skin did not bleed. If the tool released blood, this would seem to prove the accused not guilty, and the 'expert' would not be paid for a successful find. Am I reading this wrong, or can someone who understands this concept modify the article to make it more clear? *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 19:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
