Oh yes, because killing a HELPLESS defeated foe is totally courageous. (-_-)
Make his escape?? He was incapacitated. He was in no condition to leg it - and probably would have died from his wounds, thus killing him straight away might have been more merciful (and if so, this should have been stated - as it was in the comic adaptation of ROTF, which I believe was written by Furman IIRC).
if the writers had wanted prime to show mercy there was plenty of time for them to add something in.
