“I was just living paycheck to paycheck” won’t be a valid defense either :P
Of course, but most people will prioritize their own family members over others. It's an explanation, not an argument against being moral.
My go-to in nuance situations that require clarification is "explanation is not justification"
Except it will. As will "I was just following orders". It works for cops. It worked in Vietnam. Hell, it even worked for the majority of Nazi's; only a small percentage actually faced reprocussions for their actions.
