“Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.”
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die — for any capital case, at least two witnesses are required for conviction. A single witness's testimony is insufficient for execution, protecting the accused from unreliable evidence. This two-witness standard reflects the presumption of innocence and the seriousness of capital judgment.
