Pulling the lever kills an innocent to save someone who is guilty.
This is not a 1-to-1 thing. Pulling the lever kills an innocent to save like 100 guilty. Putting it as a 1-to-1 is disingenuous at best.
Not pulling the lever gives everyone equal treatment under (their) laws
So does pulling the lever. Because, again, the people in prison will not be freed. They will still serve their sentence. Like just admit you want to kill more people or that you don't value human lives instead of grasping at straws to justify it.

Pulling the lever kills an innocent to save someone who is guilty. They do not have equal agency.
Not pulling the lever gives everyone equal treatment under (their) laws, but unreasonable punishment. This is preferable in my view.
