In a situation such as the one we're talking about. Yes, a person could face charges, but not murder. They'd likely be charged with manslaughter.

As I said before, this all comes down to choice, to free will. No one put a gun to Scott's head and forced him to sacrifice himself, he did all that on his own. He didn't have to sacrifice himself, he could've let his mother die, of course he wouldn't, but my point is that he could. Scott could've chosen to not participate in the sacrifice.

Jennifer didn't kill him bc she didn't force him. I'm going with what's canon, which is Theo killing Scott, not Jennifer.
