Perhaps what's really happening is other are recognizing that the statement "it was kill or be killed" is not enough to determine what exactly happened, and does not necessarily mean the miners were attacked. Even if the miners were attacked and had to kill in self-defense the other claims would still be crimes. If they were a "psychological coping mechanism", that would not absolve guilt, but only be relevant for determining punishment.
