I just don't think the hamilton shot is as cut and dry as some people think. some historians even think that by his letter the night before and his actions just preceding the duel, he was trying to set up Burr to look like a cold blooded murderer upon winning the duel.
he was also suspected of violating the code by telling Judge Pendelton of his intentions to miss, but not directly and obviously making that known to burr since he didn't shoot straight up in the air or at the ground

You have to believe that Hamilton had a death wish to believe that yarn, though.
