How does the meqalal get killed? They held him in jail until they could
ask a shaylah, so it wasn't kana'im poge'im bo. There couldn't have been
hasra'ah -- the pasuq was only written in /response/ to the event! If
it was a one time event because Hashem said so, then how does it follow
up with "Ve'el BY tedabeir leimor: Ish ish ki yeqalel..."

Last, a more general question... how does the death penalty for qilul
hasheim lead into the death penalty for murder and then ayin tachas
ayin? In what way is this middah keneged middah?

Tir'u baTov!
