I think it’s Hanlon’s Razor.

“Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.”

Seems like both could be extrapolations of Occam’s Razor:

The simplest solution/explanation is more likely to be the correct one.

Was it:

Malice/Conspiracy?

Or:

Stupidity/Human Incompetence?

The choice may lie in the details of the incident/disaster and the generosity/mercy of the person rendering judgement.
