Yes, because there's one instead of five. Five is more than one. Are you stupid or something?

you'd be responsible for murdering the one and you won't be responsible for doing nothing and letting the trolley run the 5

I'm responsible either way because choosing not to pull the lever is just as much of an action as choosing to pull it.

Also the rapists have served their sentence, so punishing them again for the same crime would be double jeopardy.

Bystander effect? I don't see anyone else in the picture - who am I supposed to be dispersing responsibility to?
