Suppose someone decided to kill me and he killed me, then suppose that god or some infinite power reset time back

There are two cases:

1- If he killed me again (in the same exact way) after someone reset time back in the same exact way then this means that his actions were predetermined.

2-If he didn't kill me after someone reset time back in the same exact way, then this means our actions are random.


In either case the killer is not responsible for his action because his action were either predetermined or random.

In order for someone to have free will, his action must not be predetermined and not random. But thats impossible, right ?

If case 2 is true then this means that all of the criminals in the world are criminals because of luck. Because if we reset time back then there is a chance that those criminals might not become criminals afterwards.
