Does Reuben see Davy as a murderer, or as one who acted in self defense?

Reuben has a soft spot for Davy. He describes the injustice he feels in the courtroom and when he reads the unfair descriptions of Davy in the newspapers. Perhaps the biggest hurdle the Lands face is deciding whether the pursuit of Davy is just - Reuben struggles with the idea of his brother being brought to justice in court but he also cannot bear the idea of never seeing him again.
