Reply To: Murdaugh Verdict – Circumstantial Evidence without Motive

Incarceration is not a Torah concept
In Torah a murderer is sentenced to death. If there’s not enough proof (2 witnesses and warning) he goes free. A thief goes free if he returns the stolen goods. If he doesn’t return them, he is sold as a slave until shmitta.
Incarceration is an invention by the gentiles. It’s cruel and inhumane. God’s laws are compassionate.
