what does it say about the court System when the judges side with her over George Jacobs?

Miller establishes that it takes only a simple accusation for a person to be convicted of witchcraft. Thomas Putnam uses this for economic gain, coercing his daughter into accusing George Jacobs so that he may purchase his land once Jacobs has been executed. The court wants to find witchcraft wherever they go, finding witchcraft validates their existence.
