Quoting%20commentary for Makkot 45:18

ת"ר אמדוהו לכשילקה קלה פוטרין אותו לכשיצא מבית דין קלה מלקין אותו ולא עוד אלא אפילו קלה בתחלה מלקין אותו שנאמר (דברים כה, ב) והכהו [וגו'] ונקלה ולא שלקה כבר בבית דין:

The Rabbis taught [in a baraisa], If they evaluated him that he would soil himself when lashed, then we exonerate him. [If they evaluated him] that he would soil himself after leaving Beis Din, we nevertheless flog him. And not only that, but even [if they evaluated him to soil himself beforehand, we still flog him. That the Torah says (Deuteronomy 25,2) "And he strikes him etc. And he becomes demeaned" And not that he was already demeaned in Beis Din.
