    Nothing mysterious about it! Toads are amphibians. Amphibians undergo metamorphosis. These amphibians were merely changing form. Pure science!

    Excerpt quoted from the after trail interview:
    “I ‘toad’ them I was innocent! Maybe next time They’ll think twice before hopping to conclusions!” – Dame Ekzeria

    Some accounts dispute this version of events and insist that the judges were turned into frogs. Serves them right, too.

    The witches found the judges’ lack of faith disturbing.
