Trust me, Ulfric will get what he deserves..

The guard aslo tell you that Ulfric murdered Torygg with his voice. This makes me believe that they have only heard rumors of the killing of the High King. The Unrelenting Force shout is not fatal in any way, except for a possible fall afterwards, that may cause some damage. Some dude in Blue Palace says that he killed him with a sword, and since the incident happened in Solitude, it's more likely that the people of Solitude were there, and actually saw what happened. I don't see it as cheating, because if it was, there must've been plenty of guards to arrest him.

Why Ulfric gets more support is, in my opinion, because he earned some respect when he killed Torygg.
