More commentary on our last Mishna:
- · Proofs for requiring forewarnings: how to manage intentionality
- · Measuring different types of crimes and their punishments
- · When a person understands the risk, s/he releases him/herself to death
- o Conspiring witnesses who testify that a betrothed woman committed adultery should not be put to death (the same punishment as her) for they did not forewarn her; they testified not to execute her but to save her husband from transgressing
- · Significant testimony: valuating incongruent testimony from witnesses
- oCommenting on the stem of a fig when the crime was picking a fig on Shabbat is significant
- o The colour of a sandal is not significant unless the crime was killing another person with that sandal
- · Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai could not have judged a capital crime because he was a leader regarding Torah commemoration, which dates his years as a judge
- · Differences between interrogation and examination: some testimony can be rendered conspiratory testimony and some cannot
- · When there is a discrepancy between witness reports about the day of the month
- · For how many days into a new month are we permitted to say the blessing on the new month? Up until 7 days? 16 days?
