Imagine your community had a gathering at the local park this weekend. All your friends and neighbors are here for the big event. The woman down the street has been accused of adultery by her husband and three of his friends, so she has been sentenced to death by stoning.  Yeah isn't it horrible? What is stoning? it is a method of punishment where a group of people throws a stone at a person until the person dies.
