We throw around the term witch trial. Well, it's really happening in Central Islip, NY, according to this AP story (courtesy of CBS). A grade school teacher was allegedly fired for being thought to be a wiccan, by a devoutly Christian principal.
Or was she? As the 2001 incident goes to trial, weird allegations of severed fingers, plane crashes, Munchausen by proxy.
It is no everyday employment dispute. As defense attorney Steven Stern put it during opening statements, "It's been quite a long time since we've seen a witch trial in this country."
The picture shows the woman, Lauren Berrios, with suspiciously wicked eyebrows.
