ELI5: In terms of law, if someone killed 3 people to save 10 others what would happen to them?

Depends on the circumstances.  If by "killed three people" you mean let them die to save others from a sinking boat, then nothing (except possibly PTSD and a lot of guilt).  If you mean that they chose to shoot these three people in the head, then it would mean three counts of murder.

You don't get to murder people, even if you claim it was a really good idea.
