This is a story about an official pardon that's being carried out in a Scottish town for people who were executed as witches centuries ago. I know there are still people who don't really want pardons for some silly reason, but shouldn't this have been done at least decades ago when scholarship figured out that most if not all of the people who were killed were innocent? The story says it came too late by centuries... and in preventing their deaths, this is true, but I think it came too late by decades, because there's really no reason to wait on offical pardons once the evidence is there that the institution was wrong. To me, that's an immediate kind of thing. But, it's at least a good step that this one town is doing the right thing, finally.
