No, no, I imagine something shocked him at the last moment. In several accounts (at least that I've read) it says Maxime was shot just as soldiers burst into the room. Factoring that in, it's possibly Saint-Just's hand slipped. Or failing that, that Maxime moved. The second is more likely, I think. Saint-Just was probably aiming for the temple.
