A prisoner in the Inquisition is never allowed to see the face of his accuser, or of the witnesses against him, but every method is taken by threats and tortures, to oblige him to accuse himself, and by that means corroborate their evidence.
John Foxe
A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial.
