Judicial Fairness and Witnesses

Deuteronomy 19:15-21

"One witness alone will not be sufficient to convict a person of any offense or sin of any kind; the matter will be established only if there are two or three witnesses testifying against him.

"If a malicious witness comes forward and gives false testimony against someone,

then both the men involved in the controversy are to stand before ADONAI, before the cohanim and the judges in office at the time.

The judges are to investigate carefully. If they find that the witness is lying and has given false testimony against his brother,

you are to do to him what he intended to do to his brother. In this way, you will put an end to such wickedness among you.

Those who remain will hear about it, be afraid and no longer commit such wickedness among you.

Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
