They are trying to get away by creating doubt.

But ambiguities does not alleviate them of the overall of what they've done.

 

The crimes are heinous by nature and lethal. It does not justify what they've done.

Even IF I have commited theft of few or 1. (Of which I have not)

 

Why would DESTRUCTION of a person's life, to the point of a zero-sum game, be required, to counter a theft of few? If there were?

 

How does it justify its lethal actions?

 

It does not.
