Hero or Murderer?

That sounds like a really bad Law and Order episode.

Quote:

In criminal law, murder is the crime of causing the death of another human being, without lawful excuse, and with intent to kill or with an intent to cause grievous bodily harm, which is traditionally termed "malice aforethought". In attempted murder, the mens rea requirement, Latin for "guilty mind", is limited.

I'd think something like that, if the DA wants to, would charge you with manslaughter rather than murder. They'd consider mitigating circumstances, like the robbery and such but it doesn't excuse an unnecessary death. And along the lines of Quiet Place conversation, you'd have to live with the moral guilt of killing someone, especially when it could have been prevented.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
