That's a false choice. His legal obligation was to not attempt to detain Arberry at gunpoint in the first place.

Not a false choice. At some point in the interaction, that choice forced itself upon Travis. Assuming Travis didn't wish to be charged with murder also, what was his legal obligation at that point? If you cannot answer the question, the reasoning behind your general argument is fatally flawed.



No, it's not. His legal obligation was to not put himself in the position he put himself in. You do understand that, right?
