This is certainly an opinion question but it can be proven
by facts in the story. At first, when Mary Warren went to testify, she was indeed under
the fear, although a healthy fear, of her boss. Thus, she was ready to testify in his
favor.
After some time in the courtroom with the girls
pressuring her to conform and the judges pressuring her to perform (she had claimed that
what they were doing was pretense or pretend and they wanted her to pretend right in
front of them to prove it) she caved.
What made her cave
completely and exactly was the moment when Abby made it seem as if Mary Warren were
bewitched. After some mockery from the girls, Mary knew if she didn't join them, they
would have her look to be the very next hung witch in the town.
