I believe the legal system is to blame. Although the Puritans had the right to try those who confessed to be witches, they did not go about it the right way. There was too much testimony and too little evidence. Their legal system was not based on concrete rules and regulations seeking to protect the defendant. In fact, there were no rules at all! They were not coming from the position of protecting the accused until proven guilty--they made rash judgements based on inaccurate testimony.
