1) If Avon had been captured and tried, he should have been interrogated about the scam. Since Anna had been interrogated and (apparently) killed, his survival raises lots of questions (maybe he blackmailed the judge?).
2) Granted, Anna's not about to win honesty awards, but, for her statements to have made any sense at all (before and after being shot), it stands to reason Avon didn't stand trial - a publicized trial would have let her know he was alive and 'letting him go' implies he didn't stand trial.
3) Shooting a man who has just shot you doesn't count as cold blood, which is what Jenna asked about. More interesting is Grant's blunt statement that Avon should have shot the man - and the implied assumption that it's what he would have expected Avon to do.
Although the idea of Avon deliberately creating false records to get himself off Earth on a prison ship (a daring, unlikely to be checked, yet semi-suicidal way of slipping past security [which might have suited his mood]) and that the fleet Liberator destroyed had a few ships Avon had coordinated with to rescue Blake (hence, he delays the mutiny till the time is right), has its appeal, it has holes, too.
Still working on the Unified B7 Theorem.

There are differential survival rates in surgery, and that's supposed to HELP people.

It could imply that he lived long enough to stand trial, somewhat contrary to expectations

I don't know--usually a statement like "you should have" is meant as a reproach for not doing it.

Me too, but the task is made more difficult by the BBC team not feeling the need to construct any such thing.
