FFX: Did Yuna (and Lulu) Lie During Her Trial!?

[auronlu]

Hey waitaminute. Am I dense, or is there a big gaping plot hole I never noticed before?


Kelk: ...Tell this court what possessed you to participate in such violence.
Yuna: Your Grace... The real traitor is Maester Seymour! He killed his father Jyscal with his own hands!
Kelk: What is this!
Seymour: (Nonchalant) Hmm? Hadn't you heard?
Yuna: Not only that... Maester Seymour is already dead!
Lulu: It is a summoner's sacred duty to send the souls of the departed to the Farplane! Yuna was only doing her job as a summoner!

I don't think Seymour was already dead when he and Yuna had their showdown in Macalania Temple. Saying "it's my duty to send him!" when you were responsible for his death is a little disingenuous.

Yuna had pressing reasons for doing what she did, but the following argument would fit the facts better:

Yuna: Your Grace... The real traitor is Maester Seymour! He killed his father Jyscal with his own hands!
Yuna: Not only that...but when I begged him to turn himself over to Yevon for judgment, he attacked me! In the heart of Macalania Temple, when I had just emerged from the Chamber of the Fayth!
Lulu: Yuna was only defending herself from being murdered like Lord Jyscal, and it was our sacred duty as guardians to protect her.

Maybe they're also referring to the events of the wedding? :/ I forget whether context rules that out completely, but.
