Step 2: Let's look at a number of medieval torture devices.

Questions to think about as you read through this article:
Why would people have such a strong believe that innocent would not be hurt? (Or that they would heal miraculously?)
What does it mean to be ostracized? Why would this happen if someone lied under oath?
What are the advantages and disadvantages to each kind of trial?
Would you be satisfied with a legal system like this? Why do you think times have changed?
