Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:
I've read of martyrs who wouldn't plead guilty or not guilty at their trials, who stopped the trials from going in by their silence, knowing what the penalty was: pressing. They let themselves be crushed to death with weights, sometimes for days at a time, rather than involve a jury in the sin of their execution. That's holiness, that's what God intended us to be.
