cherrybim, it seems the people disagree with your assessment. What more is there to say?
As I seem to recall halacha (correct me if I’m wrong), if two eidim see Reuven holding a knife and chasing Shimon yelling “I’m going to kill you”, and the eidim give Reuven hasra’ah [warning], Reuven then chases Shimon into a concealed room with just the two of them. After a few minutes Reuven comes out of the room with a bloody knife in his hands, and the eidim find Shimon dead in the room. Yet Reuven cannot be convicted of murder, as the eidim never witnessed Reuven killing Shimon.
This just shows how far one must go to ascertain guilt. I fully maintain these 3 holy Yiddishe bochorim are 100% innocent victims.
