A lawyer writes...
The facts are simple, Raskallion, with malice aforethought, did, on the said date. Break and enter the Kings treasury. It is true that he unable to escape with his ill-gotten gains due to two factors. One, that he was unable to transport the heavy gold across a body of water that was blocking his escape route and, two, because the party of the first part (you) comandeered the treasure for a worthy cause, leaving him with no return on his dishonesty. However, an important factor in legal circles is the concept of 'mens rea' or, to put it crudely, the intention to do wrong. This was quite apparent in his unforced confession to the party of the first part. Indeed it was this confession which allowed the said party to secure the treasure for themselves. Accordingly Raskallion stands guilty by his own words and thus the sentence is clear.
Kill the sucker.
