What reading level is Missing Witness book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He would begin the opening statements.
Will emphasized the power of the actual transcript of the Isaac Joppa case—and in particular, Joppa’s testimony in the Old Bailey criminal trial of 1719. Joppa had denied any complicity in the acts of piracy of Teach and his crew. Will summarized the transcripts—the testimony by Joppa himself that he was taken as a prisoner when Teach plundered the ship Good Intent while Joppa was a passenger on it. Thereafter, Joppa had testified he was Teach’s slave. He w...as manacled with leg and wrist irons in the hold of one of Teach’s ships for months.
Will further pointed out that the entire transcript of the 1719 trial did not survive the ravages of time. Thus it was unknown what the original jury in London, England, had decided about Isaac Joppa’s guilt or innocence. There was no historical record to indicate whether he was acquitted—or found guilty and condemned to death by hanging—the usual punishment for acts of piracy.
Thus, it would be up to this twenty-first century jury to determine what had happened in the years 1717 through 1719.
