A new mishnah! How the courtroom works – welcoming the witnesses with some scare tactics to make sure that they testify honestly. Note that witnesses are supposed to be designated as such. The judges weigh in, and the proceeding details exactly what needs to happen to rule innocent or guilty — though each judge is anonymous with regard to the public of the case itself. Plus, the role of an “instigator” — one who brings another party to do wrong. In the case of an instigator, the court doesn’t need to seek out his innocence (as compared to other cases), as derived from the snake in the Garden of Eden. Also, in the event that a debtor admits to his debt before witnesses – that plus a formal act of acquisition means they can write an accord of his debt and that’s so much stronger than testimony. And before 3 witnesses – the question is whether they become a court, with or without the formal act of acquisition and whether they can write that account.
