I was thinking about Juliette's jail cell scene, which recently came up in another thread, and wanted to pose a question for a different discussion: Does Nick hold Juliette to a different standard than everyone else? If so, why?
Here's a quote from the jail cell scene from Nick to Juliette after she was arrested.
The way this sounds, it makes the story appear as though Nick is holding Juliette for "her own protection" until he figures things out.
Juliette was booked, just like any other alleged criminal coming through the doors. Now, in order to be booked, law enforcement would have to have obtained her identification and they would have also had to have asked for emergency contact information. She would have been mirandized.
Who would her emergency contact be do you suppose? The only person I can think of right off hand is Nick. That makes perfect sense since Wu passed the word to Nick that Juliette was in custody and he went to see her. Yet when he confronts her, he tells her he's not letting her out.
If it was up to him and he was holding Juliette for safety purposes only, why did he let her get arraigned? In other words, why did he let her go before a judge and get charged with a crime? We know she was charged because she was awaiting her trial when Rosalee came to taunt her. We know that bail had been set because Kenneth paid it.
But here's the worst of it. Juliette would have been in county lockup with other women prisoners, who are sometimes worse than men.
Why would he allow that to happen to her? What was he thinking? "Let's just teach her a lesson"? For what? A guy grabbed her and she resisted.
Nick is very good at bending the law for his own purposes, but when it came to Juliette, he was content to just let the justice system take its course with her? Consider that Juliette told Nick she wanted to see if he would come and rescue her. He didn't. Just curious as to what others think.

The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
