Even in the OT times there was recognition that accidental deaths occurred and there was provision for the person causing it that they not be killed.
Murder, the deliberate killing of another human being, is a different matter and God established the death penalty for that, but in the cases of accidental death, God provided cities of refuge to which the person could flee for safety.
agreed my comment was general and not intended for the charlottesville driver. I may have done the same. Had to know if he got caught on the street or intended to do harm. Surprised at no police presence at the entrance to that block.
