How long was Tituba imprisoned before her case was dismissed?

Tituba was imprisoned for over a year before the case against her was dismissed.

Tituba was arrested in early 1692 after accusations that she had bewitched girls in Salem Village. During examination, she confessed to witchcraft and described an alleged network of witches, a statement that gave the accusations greater momentum. Unlike many other accused people, however, she was never brought to trial.

Tituba remained in jail for more than a year while the legal crisis continued. In May 1693, a grand jury dismissed the case against her, ending the prosecution without a conviction or criminal penalty. Her release appears to have depended on the payment of jail fees, although the surviving record is incomplete. What happened to her afterward is unknown. The case is often misunderstood because popular retellings portray Tituba as central to the trials but omit that she survived imprisonment and was never tried.
