Adolin could simply state in his defense that he "Executed" him in order to preserve the nation. The fat slug pretty much admitted to being an enemy of the state (that state being Urithiru and the Knights Radiant). If you look at the sitituation from this point of view, being in Urithiru and not in Alethkar. hince the jurisdiction falling to Dalanar and the Radiants not the king or the other highprinces. I can see Brandon going in this direction simply to separate the Knights Radiant and Alethkar. I can see the other highprinces and the king getting pissed about Adolin doing what he did However, I do believe at this point the Dalanar and the other members of the knight's Radiant will step in and tell the rest of those people. This is not Alethkar this is Urithiru and we owe allegiance to no single nation. Any form of punishment should come from the members of the knights radiant if at all. Hopefully with a vote among the four. If kaladin makes it back in time, we know he wont care probably give Adolin a cheer. Shallan wont care either b/c she was already involved in ploting Sadeas's downfall, Renarin wont do anything drastic to his own brother, and Dalanar might get upset however, he would never allow anything to happen to Adolin. Worse case he will get exiled to Alethkar.
