In the past, urban centers worldwide typically featured a scaffold in the public square and a gallows at the outskirts. The rack beneath the town hall was frequently employed for intense questioning, and the role of the executioner was a legitimate profession: “The initial blow is the most crucial.” Church attorneys crafted unique penalties for the extraordinary offenses of witchcraft and heresy. The Spanish Inquisition wielded a sophisticated arsenal of tools to combat those perceived diabolical deeds.
