This question discusses whether one may attempt to escape the death penalty imposed by a Beis Din for a capital offense. The answer to this question seemed to be that the person should not try to escape.

My question is what the person should do if he is falsely convicted of the crime. Suppose that he knows that he certainly did not commit the crime for which he is about to be executed. Should he attempt to flee?

See the Minchas Chinuch he brings this exact case if I remember correctly. – sam Mar 13 at 18:37

@sam ...Or at least an exact citation for the Minchas Chinuch. – Fred May 7 at 4:25
