("If you can acquit him according to the laws of Israel—acquit him and say to him: This is our law. According to the laws of the Canaanites—acquit him and say to him: This is your law. But if not—do not bring it upon him indirectly. These are the words of Rabbi Ishmael. Rabbi Akiva says: Do not bring it upon him indirectly, because of the sanctification of the Name." – Bava Kamma 113a)
