So you recognize that Reiner was in charge during the attacks of Wall Rose and Wall Maria. Thus, he is the first responsible for those attacks. Also you seem to forget that when Reiner stopped the Attack on Trost District, there was already thousands of civilians and military deaths. I mean: Do you remember the streets full of corpses and the corpse to whom Annie apologized? Also, Reiner didn't stop Trost attack because he was conflicted or because he had remorse but only because catching Eren became his priority (Read chapter 77). Reiner became interested in Eren because he wanted the coordinate.

Concerning "her attack" in the open, you're wrong. Leader Neiss and Cis attacked her first. I mean: She was searching for Eren and leader Neiss ordered Cis to attack her first (Read chapter 22). So she had the right to defend her own life. I agree that Erwin and Levi deliberately lied to their own men about the Female Titan. Thus, Erwin and Levi's behaviour towards their own men was criminal. But Annie couldn't know that the soldiers didn't know that the female Titan was very dangerous. So, she had indeed the right to defend her own life.

Also, you seem to forget that the whole 57th expedition had only one goal: Erwin wanted to catch the Female Titan. Otherwise why would Erwin install such a costly and complex trap with harpons in the forest? It wouldn't make any sense. Also, if they had captured Annie, they would have tortured her, then they would have probably killed her. And if Erwin had captured Annie, Marley would have very probably killed her father in reprisal. So, Annie didn't killed innocent "people", the reality is far more complex than that.

Anyway, if you resent Annie for killing dozens of soldiers but you don't resent Reiner for being the first responsible for the deaths of 250000 civilians, then it useless to talk to you.
