halacha - kosher murder switch?



It is generally accepted that grama (indirect causation) is not permitted in performing a forbidden melacha in non-emergency situations. Similarly, while there may be cases of grama in other halachic domains that are not enforceable in the human courts (such as damages and capital crimes), they are still enforced in the heavenly court.


According to the makers of the Kosher Switch who opine that the switch does not even involve grama and therefore is completely permitted on Shabbat even in non-emergency situations, does that also imply that it could be used in non-melacha applications such as murder?
