"The Council knew that you were the son of Margaret LeFay. They knew that she was one of the wizards who had turned the Council's own laws against it. She was guilty of violating the First Law, among others, and she had… unsavory associations with various entities of dubious reputation. The Wardens were under orders to arrest her on sight. She'd have been tried and executed in moments when she was brought before the Council."
Um, she broke the First Law, that's a capital offense.. There was a warrant out for her,
she would have been tried and execute in moments when she was brought before the Council. Now I guess you can split hairs about meaning, but I think the quote you gave from Blood Rites is pretty straight forward, there was an execution order out for her... If the Wardens caught up with her, no action would have been taken against them if they had killed her in the process, and if she was brought to trial it was a mere formality, she was going to be executed.
