Taunt bug?

I thought taunt wasn't suppose to get around from breaking the law. If so, why isn't persuade the same? Here is the partial log of me coming back to Nerina.

Code:

[HP: 48%] [ME: 97%] [PE: 94%] 
An armored male dwarf exclaims 'Halt, lawbreaker!'
An armored male dwarf exclaims 'You shall pay for your crimes!'
An armored male dwarf cleaves at your head, causing a small but painful wound.
An armored male dwarf cleaves at your left leg, causing a sore wound.

[HP: 35%] [ME: 97%] [PE: 94%] 
You are no longer invisible.
Your punch at an armored male dwarf's left arm is deflected by steel plate mail.
An armored male dwarf cleaves at your chest, causing a deep gash.
An armored male dwarf cleaves at your chest, DISEMBOWELING you!
You sure are BLEEDING!
An armored male dwarf cleaves your stomach, cutting a deep gash.
You sure are BLEEDING!
Overall, an armored male dwarf is in excellent condition.

[HP:  7%] [ME: 97%] [PE: 94%] 
Your punch at an armored male dwarf's right arm is deflected by steel plate mail.
You lose your concentration on fly.
You slowly float to the ground.
An armored male dwarf cleaves your head, leaving a big scar across your face!
You are stunned, but will probably recover.

[HP:  0%] [ME: 97%] [PE: 94%] 
An armored male dwarf says 'I will now carry out your sentence.'
An armored male dwarf says 'For the attempted murder of *****:'
An armored male dwarf says ' imprisonment.'
An armored male dwarf says 'Your prison sentence is 1 day and 0 hours.'
An armored male dwarf escorts you off to your new prison cell.

Hey, I just figured out something. Could my pet that was in front of me caused the attempted murder charge? Since, I couldn't get to the attacker it forced my pet to attack, thereby triggering one of breaking the laws?

Persuade is nothing like taunt, if it was is wouldn't be such a high powered skill.

In SK there is no real charge for Verbal Assault and the charge for it in real life is probably difficult to prove anyways. But if you Kill someone for verbal assault that is vengeance.

There is a charge in SK and real life that is easier to prove which is conspiracy to murder or... What is the other one? Where you talk the person into Murder? I forget the legal name.

In real life it is unreasonable to kill someone for taunting or verbally assaulting them, but it is illegal and wrong in the eyes of the law to persuade someone, actively, to kill someone or do something illegal.

Also, I'm nearly certain that the way persuade is coded, it's like order as a skill, with a chance to fail and make the persuadee go aggro to you.

As such, ordering someone to kill another is as if you ordered your own pet, or your charmie, to do it, which is why you were charged with attempted murder.

You are using PRESENT day laws and examples.

Just for example, In the old west it wasn't murder unless they were shot in the back or unarmed. If you talked [REDACTED] on someone...you were getting shot.
