Self defence, the mob was going to use the Struggle attack on the defendant, so the use of a "person defence weapon" in this situation is protected by the amendment, and its not my defendants fault that the rail company leaves switch levers unattended, and in the position that just so happened to destroy people on the track.

Yes, we need to bring in more lawyers to the trolley problem. I'm sure one of them can craft a solution that completely removes the protagonist from any responsibility and completely shortcuts the moral problem.
