Juliette was arraigned because she had bail set. Nick couldn't set it. She would have had to have gone before a judge, charged with her crime, and the judge would set bail for her. We know this because she was not in the same jail cell as the one where Nick confronted her. She had been moved. When she met with Rosalee, she was in fact a prisoner and Nick was no longer involved in deciding if she could leave or not. Juliette had to speak with Rosalee on a phone and she (Juliette) was behind glass. She was not wearing a prison jumpsuit. I assumed she was because prisoners are assigned one once they're brought to county jail, but I was wrong on that detail.
When I say Rosalee was taunting Juliette, I don't mean she was calling her names or anything like that. Perhaps a better word might be provoke. Rosalee was provoking Juliette. For instance, Rosalee says she's sorry. Then she says she feels she was partially to blame for what happened. I don't get the impression she's sorry at all, especially following that with a nonsense statement that she feels she's partially to blame. She's either to blame or not to blame. She can't be partially to blame. If I was Juliette, I'd be angered by everything she said as well. I don't see Rosalee as a friend coming to help. In my opinion, she's just white washing her own guilty conscience.
I'm not saying Juliette wasn't guilty of starting something in the bar. She was keeping to herself, but she also made it plain she was welcoming any trouble coming her way. However, this case was stacked against her from the start.
If it wasn't why would someone pass the word on to Wu to make sure he knew who was being arrested? Why did Wu tell Nick? I suspect they felt Nick was going to do something about it. Even in your own statement, Hank expected Nick to do something about it.
When I speak of Nick holding Juliette to a higher standard, what I'm saying is he doesn't even try to help her in this case. Take the frog girl, one of my favorite examples of Nick completely going way outside the system in order to beat it. He went way out of his way to make sure that girl never saw the inside of a jail cell because he felt she wasn't killing people on purpose.
Yet his own girlfriend, the love of his life, the one who just sacrificed her own life and career for him gets what? Not understanding. Not guidance. Not anything. Even though he admitted it was his fault, he still doesn't see it that way. He'll risk his own career and more for an amphibian frog person who he doesn't know and means absolutely nothing to him, but won't do his best to keep his girlfriend out of jail. The one who helped him get his powers back. He may have kept her in jail for future chat sessions with her, but there's no scene to show that he made good on his statement. He spoke with her once, then threw her under the bus.
You say our loved ones are held to higher standards, js. Perhaps they are. But then, don't they deserve higher standards in return?
Juliette was testing Nick and rightly so. We often test our loved ones. He failed her. Miserably.
And so, as always, we agree to disagree.

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