Winning the case in court cannot compare with the flavour of retribution you can offer. Wouldn't they prefer just a soupçon of that instead?

Success

A great victory

The victory cry of the sated venge-rat is best witnessed in this manner – when no actual blood has been spilled. The price has been paid; the dead, honoured. Or at least – that's how it feels to the rats. The case is withdrawn.

Failure

Selfless cause

The rats [...] have no want for synthetic vengeance – and anyway, what they do is not for them. It's for the dead, and for those they left behind. The judge is ultimately sympathetic to the cause of the rats. The urchins will somehow have to make good.
