Their only crime? [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|Looking even remotely like Anthony.]] And one victim's ''brother'' got ''two'' [[Eye Scream|black eyes]] as well!

* For some crimes ancient Egyptian law heavily punished both the criminal and their family.

* Specifically prohibited in [[The Bible]]. The Avenger of Blood is only permitted to kill the convict. Killing anyone other than the convict, or killing someone for something that was not a capital crime (like manslaughter if the homicide was abiding by the terms of the exile) made the Avenger of Blood a murderer, and he was to be put to death.
