PEH337

Samuel Chiskijahu Levi Ximenes asked: A and B testified that C had committed murder. After C's conviction, A and B retracted their testimony, claiming they were not at the crime scene on the relevant day but were elsewhere in the company of D and E. D and E confirmed this. Moses Alvares, presented with this theoretical scenario, initially reports that this question has already been answered by Samuel Chiskijahu Levi Ximenes and the rector. He decides that the judgment should be overturned, and C should be acquitted.
