I want you to understand the circumstances why this crime happened.

Circumstances are important. The circumstances mitigate the degree to which the crime was committed.

The only crime, if any, that may have been committed in these circumstances is the perpetration of a dangerous act.

We still don't know what the circumstances of the crime were, if it was in some way related directly or indirectly to the violence shaking the Islamic community in so many countries.

That young man will either be killed by you or he will spend the rest of his life in prison in a country that is not his own.

We create grave risk to others also, and that has to stop.
