Non posso dire che mi dispiace per la vittima, ma il vero colpevole qui è la moglie!

The accused probably acted out of self defence and fear of life, especiallyif he was jolted awake by suspicious noises in the middle of the night. He certainly shouldn’t be found guilty. On all accounts, his life has been jeopardise through the actions of others.
Why is his wife (hopefully ex- by now), not on the stand instead?
Looks like a clear-cut case of guilty as charged. Yes, sure, he woke up, heard a noise in his own home, grabbed a gun for self defence, and went to investigate, and found an intruder on his balcony. At that point, the question is, did he have any reason to suspect his life might be in danger? I rather suspect the typical guy who has just had sex in a stranger’s home probably isn’t carrying any weapon sturdier than a freshly deflated meat sword. It doesn’t seem to be self-defence so much as uncontrolled rage brought on by the realisation that he had just been cuckolded.
And yes, it is perfectly true that neither the wife nor her lover painted themselves in glory in this sorry affair. But their shame doesn’t vindicate his crime.
