Adam was actively trying to kill both Blake and Yang. In Blake's case, it was self defence against an opponent who could and has physically overpowered her in the past.

Jacques is not a fighter; he wouldn't attack Weiss. He doesn't have the power to physically overpower her. In this case, with Weiss being the only physically trained aggressor in this situation, it would be completely different to when Blake killed Adam. It would be murder, not self defence.
