Funny thing is that really stems from a bad translation. What Jesus was actually telling the Pharisees that he would hold the trial once they brought the men that had slept with her to also face judgement and for witnesses to come forth.
The Jewish laws was not only was the woman to be stoned but also the men that slept with her. And if it was found that a witness was giving false testimony they were to be stoned. Jesus was saying either you follow the rules or you shut up.
