One of the sitting judges then recalled a curse the court had passed down upon a secular lawyer who had insulted the judges two decades previously."Reincarnation"
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.
