“2. Accidental killer is brought from Ir Miklat to court, determined to be accidental, sentenced to Ir Miklat.

3. Intentional killer without warning from witnesses is brought from Ir Miklat to court, and then sent free?

Why should Case 3 have it off when Case 2 doesn’t? “

I beleive that there are two situations where the killer is sent out and not to an Ir Miklat:

1) Complete Ones – totally patur. The Goel Hadam can’t touch him.

2) Negligent – should have taken precautions but didn’t. The killer does not get the protection of the Ir Miklat.
