By this prohibition, we are forbidden to slay the perpetrator of a crime, whom we have seen doing something punishable by death, before he is brought to trial. He must be brought to trial, and evidence against him must be given to the court; we can only testify against him, and the court will pass judgment on him for any offence he has committed. |
