Ok this ines good (or maybe evil)
You are looking for a fugitive that was about to be killed by the state. For mudering his wife and you find him drowning in a river.
A) save him so he can be killed
B) let him drown
what is good what is evil here

It depends. What I read in the press or saw on the news may have a bearing on it. Was I sympathetic to his reasons for killing her? Was I not?
Secondly, Who knows what a jury will do? What if they do not give him the death penalty? Also, who decides his fate, a river or a jury? Perhaps a strict believer in karma would let the river have him. A strict believer in trial by jury by ones peers (a constitutionalist) would prefer a jury decide. A Calvinist would let him drown. A freemason would likely pull him out.

I know this sound harsh, but save him so he can take his punishment. What ever that might be. Hoping that maybe the wife's family can have closure. So at least there might be some good out of the horrible situation.

I say let him drown.
Death by drowning if a far more painfull death than the one the state could afford to give him.
But, as a sith...dunno, if there is a reward on his head...maybe i would rescue him...

You would be beyond good and evil in your position as a hunter.
Your role is to apprehend the target....PERIOD.
Good and evil have nothing to do with it. There is only the doing.
To let him drown is to FAIL your duty.
For yours is not the role of executioner.
Even in letting him drown there is no good and evil.
There is only doing and failing.
Anything inbetween is irrelevant to the actuality of the mission...

I'm surprised I missed this thread previously. I would rescue the prisoner from drowning & turn them in. This is what I, I am assuming, agreed to do when I took the job. However, I fail to see any connection to any "Beyond Good & Evil" concept. This is not really a question of values.
