Picard chooses to leave the Nexus with Kirk and go back to Veridian III only minutes before the launch, when he could have picked any time and place he wanted to return and stop Soran. For example, he could go back further in time and simply not allow Soran to go back to the Amargosa observatory. However, this and any other plan would only postpone the problem - nothing would prevent Soran from trying again, perhaps thinking of something even worse next time. Even if he was convicted for making illegal weapons, he'd be out of prison by the time the ribbon comes back again. Obviously, Picard wanted to get rid of Soran for good, and the only moral (not to mention legal) way for it was to catch him in the act and kill him in a fair fight, so it won't be a murder. It might seem silly at first, but we do know that Starfleet officers take morality and honor (not to mention law) very seriously. Indeed, every time Picard chose to face Soran directly and not ambush him or shoot him in the back, and even then he couldn't kill him, but he did find a clever way around it after all, and that was the only time and place he could've done it.
