I think "Necessity" is more applicable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_(criminal_law)

In italian: "Stato di necessità" https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stato_di_necessit%C3%A0

Rough translation: Cannot punish someone for something if he did it to save himself or others from a grave damage, due to a danger he did not cause voluntarily, and not avoidable in other ways, if the thing done is proportional to the danger

Plus lets be honest (not sure if civil law still has jury trials), NO jury, not even if they imported a single person from several random countries would convict them. Not a single one.
Jury trials in Italy are only for the gravest crimes (like some murders)
Thanks.
