If you had been the merchant, what would you have said?

Solution
If I were the merchant whom the thief blamed for his friend's death, I would have said that the thief's companion was guilty of "his misfortune." A thief cannot claim to be honest and hardworking while demanding justice. I can't be considerate of someone who tried to break into my home. Though terrible, the thief's friend's death was entirely due to his own bad actions.
