Re: Punishment
How else can you prove a crime, if no concrete evidence is available? Think from the accused point of view also. If I come and accuse you of mentally torturing me, and there is no physical evidence of it, do you want court to put you in jail? no, right? The requirement of physical evidence is to protect the Mulzim. What is happening in Pakistan in the name of blasphemy law is a proof itself that we need physical evidence to punish people, and not just accusation.
