He may have hesitated for a few seconds in calling the ambulance when he heard her utter the words "Albany", his fingers may have slightly released pressure, but at that point there was nothing he could really do, she was dying, he wasn't gonna bring her back anyways. It was not Lucas who put a gun to her head and shot her in cold blood, it was the bad guys who lured Lucas into that situation where she ended up being shot, Lucas was the one trying to save her.

When he heard her say that she wouldn't tell anyone about 'Albany' he stopped trying to save her life and took the pressure off her neck. I agree that she may have died anyway, but he allowed her to die because he was saving his own skin. That may not be murder but still...

I guess I'm viewing it in a different lens. It could have been worse considering the so many other horrible scenarios it could have turned out to be. I agree that it wasn't good that he took the pressure off, I'm resisting the urge to smack him upside the head for his stupidity, but with that much blood already coming out of her, she was gonna bleed to death whether he kept the pressure or not. So in the end, that slight difference in pressure wasn't really gonna save her.

If I seem chipper, it's probably because out of all the horrible scenarios I have envisioned in my own head, things actually turned out more okay than I had ever imagined. So in that sense, I guess I can forgive Lucas for his one moment of horrible judgment.

I still think that there is still room for redemption for Lucas. And I hope Harry stops him from doing even more stupid things.
