Peretz Porter asks:
How could such a case happen, given once a conviction has been given the sentence must be carried out that very day? Is it possible to have multiple death sentence given on the same day?

The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav,
The Gemara, on Daf 46a, states that, as long as it is a question of the same punishment for the same sin, multiple death-sentences can be issued on the same day. The Gemara here establishes the case where they are all murderers, thereby conforming to the Gemara on Daf 46a.
