The beautiful, personable, and slightly eccentric TV star has all the wealth, fame, and admiration she could ever need - that's how billions of her fans see it. Inside, there is a different girl, one who is looking for what she doesn't have. Her time jump back to Joan Of Arc's execution in 1431 was supposed to be routine, just another day on the job. Instead, the events of that day changed the young woman's life forever. Ride back in time with Allison Jolie for a story that you will never forget - one that will live on in our star for the rest of her life. An 81-year-old man's refusal to be bullied in Salem Village of 1692 provides the basis for "The Pressing Of Giles Corey". Accused of being a witch by the town's young female gentry, landowner Giles Corey is pressured by the court into entering a plea: guilty or not guilty. He refuses, and "stands mute" and a sentence of "peine forte et dure" (hard and forceful punishment) is passed on him. Soon, large stones are placed on the accused's chest, designed to force a plea - or effect certain death. Mr. Corey's only words for the sheriff presiding over his two days of torture: "More weight!" Broadcast of the harrowing event is almost complete when the impossible happens-will the Time Crew ever be able to leave 1692 and get back home? Will history unfold exactly as we have read or been taught? Will what you now know to be true turn out to be a lie? Will your world change because you watched DEATH SENTENCE! ? TUNE IN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF !
