There is no justice system in the world that works like that. Even medieval justice typically involved a pre-defined exchange of cattle or gold as a blood price. You would have to go back to the most primitive tribes to find anything like a code of justice where punishment was determined by the victim.
Justice is blind, dispassionate, and dispensed by the state in every civilized society in the world. And that state of affairs came about after centuries of experience with revenge-based 'justice', and it's terrible legacy of endless blood-feuds.
