The judge watched as the ranting elderly man was led away before he pressed his chest and said, "Since we've opted for an open trial, we are committed to fairness and impartiality, not to the idea that the weaker party is automatically in the right. Vulnerable people can't just use their vulnerability to justify their actions. Moreover, in determining whether a crime was committed, it's not about whether you succeeded."
"You try to kill someone with a knife, and even if you don't succeed, it doesn't mean you aren't guilty of attempted murder. Also, if during the act of assaulting someone with a kitchen knife, you accidentally drop it on your own foot, it doesn't mean you transform from the aggressor to the victim. Such logic doesn't exist in this world! If everyone judged right and wrong this way, society would be in chaos."
