The Gemara in Bava Batra makes a strange assertion: namely that invalid witnesses (e.g, relatives) signed on a shtar do not invalidate the two valid witnesses that are signed onto the shtar. This is surprising because the Gemara in Makkot specifically discusses the domino effect of edut - namely that if one in the group is invalid, the whole testimony is invalidated! In this shiur we will examine when and how unified we consider various edim.
