Your absolutist statement is that you are condemned on a technicality. You are not. You are self condemned if you reject good.
Anakin was tricked by Palpatine who tempted him with the carrot of bringing Padme back to life (Anakin was tempted by that because he bore some grief over the loss of his mother. That was his weakness. Palpatine played on that). Palpatine deserved to die, killing him was just. The Jedi knew the mass pain and suffering that a turn to the dark side would bring. Anakins' was a selfish act that he falsely justified with reference to the Jedi code. He regretted it immediately.
He carried on compounding his rebelliousness until his actions we're completely immoral. Padme knew that. So did every other good person. Only the Sith, confused by their immorality and false justification for it, thought evil was good.
Love is life, hate is death.
The Sith try to succeed deviously. Hatred is always it's own reward. Success on those terms is empty/ unfulfilling. The Jedi focus on what is good. Their ethos is selflessness. Everyone benefits. Life blossoms for everyone affected.
