1702, the court declared the trials unlawful. And in 1711, the colony passed a bill restoring the rights and good names of those accused and granted £600 restitution to their heirs. However, it was not until 1957 more than 250 years later that Massachusetts formally apologized for the events of 1692.Added to timeline:
