I swore that I would never kill a defenseless individual without a damn good reason, but that was part and parcel of being in the CF. I can't blame Ms. Kyle for what she's doing here. Think about it, she didn't sign up to have her friends shot at, it just happened cause Bones there is a world class dick.

For civilians there's something called the "ordinary person defence" basically, if the average joe/jane would have done the same thing in your position despite your actions being criminal, you're sentence is reduced (and if you are very lucky it's mitigated entirely). Watching someone kill a close friend in front of you would be enough to get most fair judges to reduce your charges manslaughter in the 2nd degree (see: Manslaughter:Provocation: reasonable man defense on Wikipedia).
