In page Marie-Joseph Angélique:

"

Angélique was charged and tried for starting the blaze. French law at the time allowed a suspect to be arrested based on "public knowledge", when the community agreed that a suspect was guilty.[1] Over the next six weeks, the prosecution called a large number of witnesses, none of whom testified to have seen Angélique set the fire, but all of whom claimed they were certain that she had done it. They testified at length as to Angélique's character as a badly behaved slave who often spoke back to her owners, but no solid evidence was presented as to her culpability for the fire.[citation needed]
