Much of your bitterness toward Tullius seems to be the fact that he/ The Empire ordered your execution even though you aren't obviously a part of his army because you aren't wearing their secret handshake cuirass. Who's to say that you're not a Stormcloak sympathiser just because you don't have one. I've met plenty of people who support their cause and don't have a cuirass. Also, you could be someone the Stormcloaks hired to help them do whatever it was they were going to do when they were captured. In that case, you were helping people labled as rebels by the ruling establishment and are therefore sentenced to execution. I for one wouldn't believe a thing that came out of the mouth of someone caught in those circumstances. They'd say anything to save their hide. It would be very hard to believe you just so happened to be traveling with the leader of the rebellion, regardless if that was the case.
