I think you are incorrect. We don’t listen to bas kol’s. We just follow halacha. The halacha is you kill him. Like the tanur.
Ah, but I don’t think the two are congruous.
By the tanur, we’re dealing with an issue of what the halacha is. Here, we’re dealing with an issue of metzius — is he guilty? After all, he (and others) can continue to bring evidence even after the conviction is handed down. If new evidence comes to light that he is innocent, then he is set free, the previous conviction notwithstanding.
