Jewish Court Sentences Dog to Death By Stoning.

Once upon a time, many people in the world believed in witchcraft. It seems the Jews Still Do: A Jerusalem "rabbinical court" condemned a dog to death, whom they suspected to be the "reincarnation" of a secular lawyer who insulted the court's judges 20 years ago. According to Ynet, the large dog made its way into the Monetary Affairs Court in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Mesa Shearim in Jerusalem, frightening judges and plaintiffs. Despite attempts to drive the dog out of the court, the hound refused to leave the premises. One of the sitting "judges" then recalled a curse the court had passed down on a secular lawyer who had insulted the judges two decades previously. Their preferred "divine retribution" was for the lawyer's spirit to move into the body of a dog, an animal considered impure by "traditional Judaism". Clearly still offended, one of the "judges" sentenced the animal to death by stoning by local children. The canine target, however, managed to escape! In other words, divine justice was finally done!
