Here in America we have the same principle that God gave the Israelites. A man/woman is considered innocent until proof of his guilt is established. No matter what social scale they live in, what cities they inhabit, their family structure, innocence was the key to proper law adherence. We adhere to this and it is part of our judicial system.
So what was the test of guilt or innocence? There had to be at least two witnesses and the court is to listen and then a jury of their peers responds. God is clear about what He has ordered in order that there may be peace and order in the land. What was done in Israel is also done in our court system today here in America. Wise principles help to maintain order and righteousness.
