That's why we have Courts, Judges, Lawyers, and Juries. Laws speak mostly in generalities. Trials serve to examine the details and extenuating circumstances to find just in the specific case according to the available evidence.

Here here. It is also why we often chose to have a jury trial to get the 'human' influence not just the 'statute' being implemented. There are many landmark legal decisions based on JURY decisions even jury protest votes. Many times the 'Law is an Ass' it is the human factor of the jury that makes it a fair system - or at least fairer.
