*8.5 Makkos Daf 06 B (11 lines Up)**Summary**Rav Nachman: ‘Individual _eidus’_* is acceptable with regard to *monetary matters* as the _passuk_ states: “He shall not be *_killed_* by the word of one witness”.*Rav Zutra* asked: We learned (8.3) that when *part of a singular _eidus_ is _huzam,_* they are *put to death,* even though the murderer is also put to death based on the testimony of the other part of the singular _eidus._But if ‘individual _eidus’_ is in fact valid with regard to monetary matters, then it *should be valid* even with regard to *capital crimes!* Of course we cannot administer capital punishment based on ‘individual _eidus_ ’ as taught by the _passuk_ (8.4), but all the witnesses should be considered one group [just as in monetary matters] and we should *save the _zoimemim_ from capital punishment* based on the principle (7.5) that in order to punish _zoimemim_ , the entire group must be found guilty!There is *no answer* on this.
