    , but wouldn't Kant say that if someone died because you told the truth, you did the right thing?

You are absolutely right, I thought one thing and wrote the other.

    I think both the "means" and the "ends" are important,

That's always what's troubled me too. Why not both? I can see that if someone has good intentions, but it turns out slightly differently than they expected, they can't really be at fault. But sometimes people just mess up so badly, they have to be held accountable.
