Special privilege? Perhaps not, but understandable, as in mitigating circumstance.

With the svartalves? Not likely.

That is true, but on the other hand, there is an outside chance that Molly can talk them into agreeing for political reasons. All it means is Thomas does receive punishment for what he did, but not death. They may even consider time served for example.

Possible but that would be some loophole, reparations and/or politics. Maybe they can find some way to blame nemesis but mitigating circumstances? No.

More like blaming Nemesis for creating the situation that pressured Thomas to attempt the assassination, all of that together would be the mitigating circumstance. Thomas is still guilty, but the charges and punishment are reduced. The Swartalves may also agree to it politically, because Thomas was able to get in there in the first place is because he was having sex with their President's sister. Remember even though Harry was living there in Molly's apartment he still had to jump through all kinds of hoops for security, but Thomas didn't. Admitting that they were lax as far as Thomas was concerned resulting in disaster would be an embarrassment and an admission of a security failure based on preferred treatment because of Thomas's relationship with their President's sister.
