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.
