Halakhah for Sanhedrin 90:9
מיתיבי כל מקום שיעידוהו שנים ויאמרו מעידין אנו באיש פלוני שנגמר דינו בב"ד פלוני ופלוני ופלוני עדיו הרי זה יהרג תרגמא שמואל בהן הן עדיו
it is different, for Scripture states, The hand of the witnesses, implying, the hand which they had previously possessed.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But if they lack hands at the outset they are eligible to testify. ');"><sup>16</sup></span> An objection is raised; 'Wherever two witnesses testify, saying, We testify against so and so<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the condemned person escaped and was recaptured (Mak. 7a).

Sefer HaChinukh
To hang one who is liable for hanging: That we were commanded to hang one who is liable for hanging by the court. And it is known that all those who are hung are first stoned. And about this it is stated (Deuteronomy 21:22), "and you shall hang him on a pole." And the law of hanging is with a blasphemer and one who worships idolatry only - like the words of the sages in the chapter [entitled] Nigmar HaDin (Sanhedrin 45b), who argue against that [position] of Rabbi Eliezer, who says [that] all those who are stoned are hung.
