You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights?”

If you answer “Yes” to the question “Do you understand these rights?” then you’ve just lost your right to remain silent, and all the other rights specified as well. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nope. Actually, of the 150 who were tried as witches in the Salem witch-trials (which lasted two years, 1692-1693), only 20 were convicted. Six men and fourteen women – a 13% conviction rate.

There was a seventh man, who died during judicial torture.

None of those convicted were burned at the stake. They were all hung. Not that that probably gave a whole lot of comfort to the 20 people who were executed. [...]]]></description>
