Reply To: What if the Witnesses Don’t Want to Kill Him?

I’m assuming his hypothetical case would be where eidem convicted someone with meesah, and only afterwards realized that they’d have to do the execution, or a case where after being mechuyav the guy meesah, they changed their minds and decided they’re too squeamish for it.

Or, maybe, after they themsevles testified, they heard other testimony that changed their mind (but did not sway the court).
