I guess so. I remember when I assassinated Ennodius Papius, I wasn't sneaking because I knew he was the only person around. But I got a 1000 bounty regardless. So I decided to kill all the Mudcrabs around me and I received the message "Last Witness Killed. 1000 bounty revoked", or something of that nature.

Whether this is part of the game mechanics or a bug, I don't know.
