In reading Numbers Chapter 35 there is a section titled 'Cities of Refuge' and to fit this in with society today it mentions that if anybody kills accidently, they can go to that city and be safe till they have a trial to determine guilt or innocence. Not sure this reminds me of sanctuary in various locations now-a-days. It goes on with the idea of if one murders the murderer should be put to death by an avenger like a prosecutor. One must prove intentionality and enmity with more than one witness, and it finishes with not accepting ransom.
