“At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.”
On the evidence of two or three witnesses the death penalty shall be executed; a person must not be put to death on the evidence of only one witness — the requirement of multiple witnesses provides crucial protection against false accusation and vendetta, elevating the standard of proof for capital crimes.
