Aldnoah.Zero (TV) (both seasons).

It's all a matter of the circumstances. That's why trials have juries. Here we have a young girl who is emotionally unstable, acting on the spur of the moment, and is quite horrified by her actions. Obviously a simple "sorry" won't cut it but there are many things she can do to redeem herself.

Women whom they can't actually do anything with. Pretty hellish.

Unfortunately, people who commit "kill on that moment" murder are not redeemable individuals. It doesn't matter if they are sane or not. They go to prison for life sentences or are executed.

I don't know where you reside but the system works differently here in America -- murder is measure on the intent of the individual (mens rea). The punishment also depends on the severity of the crime and intents of the persecuted.

You're still assuming 1.) they'll figure out she did it, and 2.) spoiler[that Asseylum won't forgive her once she recovers.]

In the end, whether Rayet's actions ruined her character or not is entirely your own decision, not the show's.

Exactly, the most often cause for murder is "kill on that moment" no premeditation, no planning nothing. It's a raptus, a moment of folly. Sane people can and do murder on the spot if the conditions are just right. There is nothing abnormal about it.
spoiler[Rayet while not liking the princess from the first moment just broke because of a series of moments in the episode and finally gave way to her impulse.]

I will table flip out back handspring on this series spoiler[if Asseyleum magnanimously forgives Rayet. ]

Simply stating that "maybe they won't catch her" doesn't change the fact that we know what she did.

Emotionally deranged or not that never excuses unprovoked spoiler[attempted murder.] I suppose spoiler[husbands acting on emotion and killing their wifes because they made them mad should be excused because it's a basic normal human thing to do right?]

Right, but that was more directed at your "She should be tried and executed for it" comment. spoiler[They didn't seem to notice her when they entered the shower, so it's possible she could hide herself or escape, which then would lead to a "Who attacked the princess" hunt through the ship.]

so what exactly is the problem people are having here? that an spoiler[emotionally unstable teenage girl gave into an impulse and probably murdered another character]? I don't see a problem with this

Why must you misquote me? I was saying that that's what happens to murderers. They don't simply get to say spoiler["Ohh, sorry I had a little lapse in judgment that time when I strangled some innocent person to death.] It's okay though, I learned my lesson and it won't happen again! Let's hug it out." No, society demands that they pay for their crime. Whether they get caught is an entirely different matter, but not getting caught doesn't somehow redeem them...

It is the part that is that "it was very convenient that the person I despise shows up, and her personal assistant who normally is NEVER away had to leave at that moment"

Because such coincidences never happen in real life, right? I think you're looking at it backwards. Situation X didn't happen so Event Y could occur, Event Y occurred because the situation was X.

spoiler[hell I would have bought the scene if while choking Asseyleum out the lines "if it weren't for you, I could still be with my father!" (specifically for dramatical purposes)]

I think that would have made things much worse since it would show that she was fully aware of her actions.
