Suppose you do have four credible witnesses and no concerns about the accuracy of their testimony. You got the guy. Slap a fine on him, put him in jail for 30 days. A jail with less rape, more cheesecake, and drywall. A jail where you can get waivers.
What's the point of cutting off his hand? Whats the point of torturing prisoners?
The point is spreading fear between criminals or any person who wants to commit robbery in the future.
Though, eye witnesses can be filtered and validated through many steps of trial. In our age, cameras might be used too.
