[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9411801, member: 18"] It's not uncommon for people to be surprised or immediately regretful at their own actions. You know this. It doesn't mean that they "didn't mean" those actions. Countless people in history have stabbed or shot someone and then gone "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!", even though they very intentionally pointed the gun and pulled the trigger, or attacked with the sword/spear/dagger. They're still murderers, they're just surprised that they were actually capable of murdering someone. Sol reactively instinctively and emotional. His bizarre and creepy greed/possessiveness towards a small girl (!!!) overwhelmed his decency and logic, and he intentionally stabbed someone who he was well aware he'd probably kill. As soon as he'd done it, he briefly came to his senses So maybe it's, in US law, "murder 2" rather than "murder 1", but it's still murder. In the UK because we do crimes differently it might be manslaughter, but in the UK, you can be sentenced to basically the same sentence as murder for manslaughter if it's bad enough, and that's the kind we'd be looking at. Especially as the whole thing was essentially "in the commission of a crime". The Jedi came to a planet that wasn't a member of the Republic (even if in a once-Republic system). Directly against the orders of both their direct report, and the Jedi Council, they violated their own laws and customs, and decided to a home-invasion/kidnapping of a small girl, and they were certainly about to take her across... well... more than state lines. As for guilt, he definitely felt it, but he also gave himself infinite excuses, so I think it was just more out of control emotion freewheeling through him. [/QUOTE]
