Well, the move to from accidents to self-defense seemed to have happened while Ghira was still in charge judging by the character short. After Ghira left and Blake decided to stay, Adam's killings went from self-defense to him being right. So it wasn't that speedy of a transition and may have even started with a genuine accident that happened under Ghira (though that would have been a good thing to include in the short if there was that moment). The rest of the downward spiral just happened more quickly since Ghira was no longer around to put it into check.
