He had just attended the hearings but was accused before any sentencing. Still he had no issue with the trials until it affected him, and I mean him explicitly as he had no issue with his wife being accused. Still could probably find a better life hero than a murderous brute who only cared for himself.
You wouldn't have to look much further than his wife to find a real role model. She spoke up against the witch trials for no personal gain, in fact it cost her her life in doing so.
