Wolf: She has made no allegation of their being any actual maisa.

I’m not referring to this case, specifically.

You said:

A fair conviction can only come from a duly constituted Bais Din organized under Halacha utilizing Torah Law and standards of evidence.

I can only assume that you meant this universally and not just for this case. (If I’m wrong in this assumption, please tell me).

If so, again, I ask, what do you propose that we do, on a practical level, with child molesters, rapists, arsonists and thieves in our community? If they cannot be prosecuted by the DA (since there can be no “fair conviction” under your definition) and there is no Beis Din that can prosecute them (unless you feel that these cases are strictly civil matters), then what do you propose we do with them?
