Essentially the point. Everything we know says that Shojo would have gone straight to jail after being raised. And from jail he would have caused loads of trouble merely by existing. As far as the political situation was concerned, Miko may have done the city a favor by dicing Shojo and avoiding any fight over who should be ruling.

Shojo's big mistake was in not realizing that Azure City was a possible target. By the time he was being raised, everything was already way messed up.
