Wrongly convicted US 'witch' to be pardoned because of 8th-graders

A Massachusetts woman who was wrongly convicted of witchcraft in 1693 and sentenced to death will likely be pardoned 328 years later, because of a group of eighth-graders. In 2020, students at a Massachusetts middle school began researching the conviction and the steps that would lead to her pardon. Consequently, a Democrat senator introduced a bill to clear her name.
