Adults are vulnerable to being chronically immature--much like a gaggle of children in kindergarten. Jimmy excuses his misbehavior by saying that Johnny did something just as bad or worse--raising a petulant and self-serving temper tantrum that in effect would drown out all accountability.

In the resultant chaos Jimmy can thus get his way--provided and assuming there is no adult in the room.
