2. Who do you think is responsible for your problem, and what is motivating them? I think my husband is responsible for my trial. He told them that he can't pray when I'm reading and that convinced the athority.

3. How are you trying to solve your problem, and are you successful? I'm desparatly trying to solve this misconception by going through my trial and not confessing to witchcraft. I never succeded in convincing everybody that I am not in fact a witch.

4. Is there anything ironic or contradictory about what you know and what you say or do? I try to be honest at all times to prove my inocence. The court just really seems to want to convict me on false accusations.
