I remember reading a story about King AbdulAziz (founder of Saudi Arabia). A man had fallen from a date palm, and killed her husband by breaking his neck when he fell upon him. The wife went to the chief (King AbdulAziz) and demanded the man’s death, even if it was an accident, as she had lost her husband. The King agreed, and sentenced him to death by having the widow climb the palm and fall down upon him. That was one eye for an eye that got left on the table.
