That was different. Her life was in immediate danger from someone who was holding her captive and she had to assume the worst when it came to self-defence. Here you had someone hunting people down and murdering them in cold blood.
Yeah, and it's not like Daredevil is a story all about misplaced guilt and flimsy rationalization to explain you acting irrationally.
 
In addition, the whole "seeing the house" bit made her get emotionally attached. But the real reason is that the writers realized that the Punisher was going to be everyone's favorite character and needed some way to focus on him for the second half

If you brought footage of that to any self-defense lawyer in the country I'm pretty sure they would shrug and say "enjoy prison" given that she was holding a gun on a seated, unarmed man. She murdered him.

Now, whether he would've hunted her down if she had gotten up and left is a valid question. But then you also have to ask "how many people would the Irish, Cartel, and Dogs of War have killed if Castle hadn't gunned them down first?"
 
God, the writer's grasp of how the legal system works did not get any better this season. You would think they'd at least spend some time watching L&O first.
