If I thought I could save the life of Hansel and Gretal and prevent a witch from murder/cannibalism, then yes I would have to accept Old Testament law as a last resort.
But I wouldn't kill someone who merely thought they were a witch.
Does anyone here think evil witches like the one in the story of Hansel and Gretal ACTUALLY still exist?

You think witches like that were actually real?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
