Using Monty Python and the Holy Grail's infamous witch trial (witch=wood=duck) as a foil for humanity's imperfect justice, the comparison is to God's full, impartial, and absolute justice. God knows each and every sin (evil) in the hearts of humanity. And yet, God has chosen to declare some of those same people to be his children, to be 'not guilty' and instead righteous. How??
The answer is simple: In Jesus Christ
God justifies (declares not guilty) those who have faith in Jesus because Jesus' life of righteousness and total absence of sin enables him to be our substitute, to take our place.
Once God has done that, who is left to condemn us? Nobody.
Not ourselves, not other people, not Satan himself. Nobody.
