Black History Month in Canada… Marie-Josephe Angelique

I have never heard of this woman. I am left wondering if she did commit the crime or was set up and what were the tortures she endured?
Apart from anything it illustrates the oppression, racism and horrors of slavery. It also illustrates the capricious nature and barbaric practices of the justice system. We have come a long way since the ritual torture and maiming of yore.
