I never heard of this supposed exoneration; and I know for certain it isn't widely accepted. I am familiar with source doents (some of which are Mather's own) that implicate him A) as a liar and B) as having a reckless lack of concern for the accused witches and the kind of evidence predominantly used against them. Pray tell, what is your so-called exoneration? Or are you just spreading lies to someone who obviously doesn't know much?
