Hi Stamper sorry I didn’t see your question till now. The Kesef Mishna says the Rambam meant aidus meyuchedes rather than regular one witness which is for instance a witness that saw the incident exactly from 3pm to 3:02 pm and then another that saw it from 3:03 to 3:06 pm or alternatively they saw it at the same time from two different windows and could not see each other; neither of these are acceptable to mechayiv misas beis din al pi 2 witnesses but according to this Rambam it seems the Bais din would not hold a goel culpable if he acted in these cases, so the Rambam advises the killer to protect himself from that time forward…
