Otherwise, what is to prevent a truely rich player from completely buying himself off in one go. If the one offering the bribe was given 25% of the criminal points removed from the murderer, it would serve to either require the murderer to have many non-criminal "friends" to split up his points or a single "friend" to do it over a period of time that would allow him to not become hunted as well.

Sometimes this should "backfire" and cause more accumulation of criminal points. The chances of this happening would depend on the corruptness of the system and the individuals involved. Also, the justice system would need to recognize when a PC is killing another PC "lawfully", i.e. killing criminals. Possibly, the system can incarcerate defeated criminals (depending on thier criminal status) if the PC is defeated by another - this could be automatic, or perhaps chosen by the PC criminal killer. If they choose the incarceration option fine, otherwise they too become killers - remember most law enforcement do not like vigilantes. Hope that makes some sense. :) I’d consider adding more risk for the criminal as well when it comes to bribes. Sometimes this should “backfire” and cause more accumulation of criminal points.
