Syag Lchochma – I’m not following the seeming dissonance between your position on not judging Rubashkin (which I agree with) even though he’s been convicted by a non-Jewish court and your position on accepting the judgement of other yidden who are convicted by a non-Jewish court.
?
I didn’t say not to judge rubashkin, i said people shouldn’t discuss details of his case as if they had a clue what was fact. The habit of stating “facts” about subjects when in fact you are stating some rumor/opinion/speculation you heard or read somewhere is wrong.
Reagrding accepting judgement of other yidden who are convicted by a non-Jewish court – I don’t know what you are referring to. If I know someone is guilty, it wouldn’t be because they were convicted. It would be because of knowing first hand information or first hand information from a non-disputable source. I don’t remember saying otherwise.
