Maybe now where else is it more obvious that Jews are given superior status over non-Jews under Noahide Laws than when it comes to trial, testimony, and conviction. Unlike a Jew, a non-Jew can be convicted on circumstantial evidence, they can be testified against by a single witness (Jews need 2-3 witnesses), they can also be testified against by relatives who could be unreliable witnesses. Michael Dallen who wrote the Rainbow Covenant even says that these lax rules for trial and conviction will lead Noahide courts to try and execute innocent people.
Where Israel's Torah courts must follow certain extremely stringent rules of criminal procedure,^ Noahide courts have more freedom. In contrast to the Torah courts, a Noahide court may convict a criminal defendant based solely upon circumstantial evidence, or the accused's own self-incriminating statements, or testimony from his near relatives — even though these relatives may not be the most reliable of witnesses. A Noahide court may also convict upon the testimony of only a single witness. So it's possible — indeed, probable, given time — that the court will mistakenly convict and execute an innocent person.
