Sort of but there were also 6 cities of refuge where the accused could flee for safety. If I remember correctly, there may have been a period of years after which they could no longer be pursued? It’s been a while since I read about it though.

Whenever the high priest died, all such people accused of manslaughter were made innocent and could leave the cities of refuge again.
