Go'eil HaDam
If a geir (i.e., someone who has no k'rovim) is killed b'shogeig, does the murderer have to go into galus?
Does a person have only one go'eil ha-dam, or can he have more than one? How close must a person be to be considered a go'eil ha-dam? One of the shiv'a k'rovim?

Ohr Samei'ach 6 Rotzei'ach 12: Galus is a chiyuv even when there is no goel hadam. His proof is from the fact that even an eved, who has no yorshim, has a din golus.
The Mirkeves Hamishnah in 5 Rotzei'ach 3, hosever, says that the reason he has a din golus is because not only a goel hadam can kill the guy, anyone can.
The reason Reb Meir Simcha disagrees with the MH is because he holds like R Shlomo Eiger, brought in Drush VeChidush Kesuvos 33b, that the reason that if a stranger kills him he is pattur is because since the goel hadam is allowed to kill him, he's considered a gavra ketila. Obviously, according to that, the MG makes no sense at all, since where there is no GH, others aren't allowed to kill him either.
Thanks!
