How should he be defended?

Seems to me a matter of arguing that, a person put in a circumstance in which they endure immense and sustained, sometimes chronic pain, or loss; who is full aware that they are gatekept from a medicine, procedure or healthcare service which drastically ameliorates or outright prevents that suffering, in seeing the unneccesary cruelty for sake of some rich monster getting another yacht, and under immense anguisu, or grief may suffer a form of fugue state in which they cannot be considered to have acted of their own sound mind, but instead induced by the actor who by the pen created their suffering.
