Witch cleared.

A court in Switzerland has cleared the last witch executed in Europe, some 200 plus years after the event, and declared her to be a victim of judicial murder.

While I support the right of those wrongfully convicted to appeal their sentences, surely there must be some logical limit. Are we to go through history, retrospectively overturning any sentence for something we now consider absurd? Are we to pay reperations to the descendents of those executed for witchcraft?

Any family members still alive will not be tainted by something now widely seen to be laughable, and 225 years later, there will be nobody still alive who suffered personal loss or hardship as a result of her execution, so why not let sleeping dogs lie instead of raking over the mistakes of history.
