Bridget Bishop was the first person to be tried, found guilty, and hung on June 10, despite the fact that she was completely innocent. Bridget was well-known across the Salem area for her un-Puritan behavior, which included wearing showy clothing, frequenting taverns, and having many marriages. Trying to avoid being hanged, Bridget confessed her guilt and renounced her good reputation in the community in order to prevent being executed.
