I'm not distracting from the matter, merely seeking out your reasoning.

I've stated my side quite clearly, and there is no real contradiction between our stories. Nowhere do I deny that I shot you or that I did not entertain other options. I did not. You were torturing my Inmate, (who has not had the chance to state his feelings on the matter, by the way,) and I killed you. It is not a simple matter for me, but it is what I would still do if the situation were to repeat itself.
