    How is there no negative connotation with hunger (or at least any less than with disappointment)?

    Because the Torah tells us anger is wrong and doesn’t tell us disappointment is wrong.

    Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but I do not believe there is a statue of limitations. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I recall that once he has been convicted, any two people who were present can later go to another bais din, testify that the defendant was convicted of a capital crime (along the normal rules of testimony) and the new bais din can execute him. The original witnesses need not be present and the original testimony need not be rehashed.

    According to this, if a bystander saw a capital convictee rowing away in escape, he couldn’t sink his boat (if that was the only way to prevent his escape), since he would need to bring him back to another B”D?

    So what is there a time limit for? (Going off vague memory, sorry.)

    So everyone should be paranoid about everyone else and hold unto their child until he or she is 13?

    If someone was chas v’shalom mechallel Shabbos and there were two eidim with only one warning him, would he be liable for kipa?

    On another note, if beis din sentenced someone to death and he escaped before the sentence was carried out, how long can elapse for his capture so that beis din can still carry out the sentence? I believe there is a time limit. I don’t remember if it starts if he escapes after sentencing but before execution OR if he escapes before conviction. And can someone who sees him running away kill, after he was convicted, him on the spot?

    Here are some thoughts:

    Never let a child out of your sights until age 7.

    Child can walk outside alone on your block at age 8.

    Child can walk outside on neighboring blocks at age 10.

    Child can cross streets at age 11.

    Child can cross avenues at age 12.

    Child can babysit siblings at age 14.

    If a child is c’v lost, he should be trained to speak to a uniformed officer. Barring that, a woman.

    Right. I forget how wise the OJ and Lemrick Nelson jurors were. Yes, not only did they acquit, they partied with the defendant afterwards. They got that right, to take just two out many many many examples.

    Kill and go free. Violate immigration law and go to prison for 27 years. True American justice. So fair. So just. Why do we need the Torah when halacha should have just copied American-style or European-style justice.

    This story has nothing to do with molestation. Let’s not use it to propagandize for one’s own agenda. The Police Commissioner stated there was no abuse of that nature prior to the crime.

    It doesn’t matter what the company “wants”; the only thing that matters is what the store promised the customer its return policy was at the time of the purchase, that enticed the customer to buy. If the terms of the return policy read to allow a return of a 30 year old product for any reason, the customer is fully entitled to make that return 30 years later, even if the store would have rather he forgot that policy as it was made and promised to the customer.

    bomb: You are very wrong. If the company purposely has a very liberal return policy, and by company policy accepts returns for any reason (to attract sales as you stated), it is fully kosher al pi din AND totally yashrus to fully take advantage of that liberal return policy that the merchant implemented. After all, you were attracted to become their customer partially as a result of their very liberal return policy — just as the store intended.

    So it would seem in the current case the family could be goel hadam (even though it was meizid not shogeg) except that there is no beis din.

    You have absolutely no data to indicate that would work to reduce the murder rate either.

    You don’t need any statistics or data when, like mdd pointed out, the Torah itself specifically tells you the death penalty is a deterrent to future potential murders.

    If you only want to eat kosher, you should certainly not be eating at this person’s house or trusting anything related to kashrus from him.

    Some of those slots are already being used by components pre-installed on your PC. You need to determine how many of them are still free (if any).

    After posting the above, I found this Rambam and pshat from “Torah Down Under” weekly d’var Torah:

    The Goel hadam today

    The Rambam says that the din of a goel hadam does not only apply if a someone killed accidentally, it also applies if the murderer killed deliberately.

    The Rambam says in Hilchos Rotzeach (1:1):

    ???? ?’) ?? ???? ??? ???? ??? ???? ????? ?? ????. ??? ??? ????? ???? ???? ????? ????? ????? ??? ????…

    ???? ?’) ???? ??? ???? ???

    [????? ?? ?????] ????? ???? ??? ??? ???? ?? ?????. ??? ????? ?????? ??? ???? ???. ?? ??? ???? ??? ?? ??? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ???? ?? ???? ?? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ?????.

    [in the aseres hadibros]

    The rambam says in Hilchos Rotzeach (perek alef, halacha 5):

    ???? ???? ????? ??? ?????? ???? ????? ??? ?????? ???? ?? ???? ???? ??? ???????? ?????. ????? ??? ???? ????? ?? ???? ???? ???? ?????.

    The Rambam says (hilchos rotzeach 6);

    ???? ?’) ??? ???? ????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ???? ????? ???? ??? ?????. ?? ???? ?? ????? ??? ????. ????? ????? ???? ???? ?????? ???? ??? ???? ????? ?? ???? ??? ???? ?????? ???? ????? ?????? ??? ??????? ???? ????. ????? ?? ???? ???? ??? ??? ???? ????? ????.

    ???? ?’) ??? ???? ?? ??? ?????? ???? ????? ???. ??? ?? ??????? ????? ??? ??? ?? ??? ????? ?????? ??? ?? ???? ???? ??? ??? ??? ????…

    Similarly nowadays, although there is no psak din, the goel hadam is still allowed to kill the rotzeach.

    The chiyuv misoh for retzichah

    The act of vengeance of the goel hadam in the case of shogeg is his own personal vendetta, but he needs beis din to allow him to take this payment from the rotzeach as in any other interpersonal dispute.

    Wolfish: To backup your view, please tell us when Beis Din did use kipa.

    Health: Anthony is a bad example. In her case beis din would have set her free. There wasn’t even circumstantial evidence there. Just bad guesses. Additionally, even if beis din could use circumstantial evidence for kipa (which is not a given itself), it certainly does not mean it will always accept circumstantial evidence for kipa.

    Exactly, mdd. If even one State would automatically execute ALL convicted murderers, not give a judge or jury the option to consider “extenuating circumstances”, we can then start looking at statistics.
