What distinguishes the Fells Acre Witch trials from the Salem Witch trials?

1. The witnesses in the Salem witch trials were more credible, since they were around 12 years old vs 2 to 3 years old.

2. The Salem witch craft verdicts were eventually overturned, whereas for Fells Acre, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial court has absolutely refused to consider further appeals citing society's justified interest in finality.
