Tamar (Judah's daughter-in-law - Genesis 28) was almost burned, even though burning was not the prescribed penalty for adultery - stoning was. The only time burning was prescribed for adultery was if the female in question was the daughter of a priest. Also, the woman wasn't to be stoned alone - she was to be stoned alongside the male purpetrator.
