The second paragraph of the ''"Trial in absentia"'' section seems to suggest that Eichmann was tried in absentia.  Is this correct? [[User:Bohdan|Bohdan]] 00:26, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

:According to Ostrovsky, this appears to be what happened. IOW, the State of Israel does not have a double jeopardy clause either, an individual can be tried twice for the same crime.  Also, Eichmann to the best of my knowledge is the only person ever executed for a capital crime(s) in Israel, which perhaps somewhere should be reflected in CP. The entry on [[capital punishment]] might state flatly that Israel does not have capital punishment, which is false; capital punishment is reserved for certain crimes in Israel, and to the best of my knowledge no legislation has ever occurred since Eichmann's execution banning further executions (but I could be wrong on that).  [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 16:06, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
