Why the fuck does the judge have to pre approve what kind of defense you’re going to use? They absolutely should’ve been able to claim the responsibility to save lives.
It's the judges job to review the arguments for congruence with law. In a contrived example, if you go to court for a speeding ticket and argue ignorance of the speed limit, the judge's job is stop that shit from consuming court time because it's not the job of the jury to determine whether ignorance is a valid defense. By the rules, it isn't.
