With this code, I don't think Ben has violated anything. He did not fail to protect the innocent, as the demon can not be considered to be innocent.
If anything, does a tendency toward mercy extend to criminals subdued by force and executed? I think that would be extreme, unless Ben does the executing himself without fair explanation of his judgement and sentence.
