The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.
Not being willing to defend your family is unacceptable.

Yes, that is one possible "what happened later" of scenario 1 (and not the only one, I would add). But what about the immediate outcome?
Scenario 1: one soul enters hell, to be tormented forever.
Scenario 2: everyone in your family enters heaven.
Note that a possible follow-up to scenario 2 is that the murderer later gets saved. No possibility of that in 1.
