Reb E : It says in the Torah that if a partially married girl is violated she is innocent as she cried out but no one came to help her. But according to you she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and is deserving the death penalty. Also she was negligent at the begining when she left her house even though she was forced at the end, Yet the Torah says she is innocent. How do you reconcile that?
I also don’t understand your comment “when it comes to money matters”, imploying that Ritterhouse would have to pay montary damages according to Jewish Law. It has been my understanding that according to Jewish Law, if someone commit a Capital Offence such as murder or attempted murder and at the same time incurred a monatary obligation he is obsolved from paying even if he doesn’t get the death penalty. Is there something I am missing?
