Yep.
Shooting a guy accused of murdering your child and got off because of a technicality is a bad choice for the right reason.

When choice is made for the right reasons, then it is a good choice at the time the choice being made. It is the wrong reasons in mind that made the bad choice. Thus, it is a capital NO.

No.
If the choice is bad, the reasons by definition are wrong.
They may be understandable (or forgiveable) as they may be based on the only information available at the time or natural human emotions.
They may even be good reasons, but would be trumped by other even better reasons for not making the choice.

No. It is not the means that makes the end right, but the end in itself. If the end (the choice) is bad, that's all you need to know. Don't do it.
