[Avodah] Redemption

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

How does a "goel hadam" work into all this? There is no restoration of
any kind. If the goel hadam was interested in justice, or even
punishment, he would bring the murderer to court. But in the heat of
the moment, his only thought is revenge. This is redemption?
-------------------------
The psukim are unclear as to the role and iirc many view the goel as an extension of the beit din.
