Reply To: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment?

If a person murders with no witnesses it isnt a lowly crime.
Of course not. The crime is the same. Murder is murder. Technicalities don’t change that.
If the witness loses his hand the murderer goes free as well. That doesn’t change the crime
If a ben sorer umorer’s parents don’t have the exact same voice his crime isnt mitigated. (or is it?)nope
The Torah gives dinim how beis din and society functions. and delinates this person gets an onesh and based on techinicalitys that person doesnt.true.
But when it’s not based on a technicality, it’s indicative.
