Any one who has a little common sense knows that keeping a dangerous person off the streets by imprisoning him/her does not need eidim and hasrah.
Contrasted with the statement of EretzHaK:
There is absolutely no justification that any Jew can support the jailing of their fellow Jew for something halacha doesn’t demand such an excessive punishment.
I’m glad we both disagree, and say that jail is sometimes called for even if strict Halacha wouldn’t agree, and he is a “brother”, and there is “proof” that is not acceptable in a bais din, and still we believe that the conviction is correct.
EretzHaK – Those are points 2-5, no?
If you would like to argue that a specific crime (which may or may not have been committed here) does not deserve jail (al pi the system of justice that government has the Chiyuv to create as one of the 7 Mitzvos), but rather a different deterrent/punishment, we can discuss on another thread.
