Good grief. A Sanhedrin that sent one person to death in 70 years was considered a murderous Sanhedrin. You didn't just have to have 2 witnesses - they had to warn the transgressor ahead of time and the transgressor had to acknowledge the warning! I am a fierce foe of capital punishment, but if the rules for the administration of capital punishment in the US or Canada were this stringent, I'd be a supporter. You want immoral statutes, you want moral repugnance? You need only look in your own backyard - look at Texas, look at Florida and other States in the US that allow capital punishment. Look at how defendants who are poor and of color are far more likely to be executed than are white folks. I remain amazed...
