The death penalty applies to 41 Federal Offenses:
http://deathpenalty.procon.org/view.reso...eID=004927
Several apply to the murder of Kelly Burkhardt:
Quote:5. Retaliatory murder of a member of the immediate family of law enforcement officialsYou may believe Hexenette was stupid enough to think Kenneth and his Verat thugs had only pure intentions while they loaded their guns but it she absolutely and irrefutably used Kelly's trust to betray her and lure her into the ambush, murder and decapitation. She directly participated in planning the murder of Kelly and her neighbors by providing details to Kenneth.
13. First-degree murder
20. Murder during a kidnapping
38. Murder involving torture
Kenneth's introduction of her to King Fredrick is particularly damning evidence:
Quote:Kenneth: May I present Miss Juliette Silverton, without whose help this would not have been possible. Juliette, this is King Frederick Von—Nick clearly knew she was the only one who could have betrayed Kelly:
Frederick: That's plenty. I cannot thank you enough. You will be well taken care of. A whole new life awaits you in Vienna. I've always had a soft spot for Hexenbiests.
Quote:Nick: She was set up, Hank. My mother was smart. There was no way she would have showed up if she didn't think she was safe, especially with the child.Even if Hexenette was a clueless imbecile she was clearly key to Kenneth's murder and decapitation of Kelly. She was an Accomplice in the murder, earning herself the death penalty. Unfortunately, Nick was unable to avenge his mother and Trubel had to kill Hexenette.
Hank: Why would she come here at all? You didn't contact her.
Nick: Somebody did, and the only way could have been from my computer.
Hank: So who had access?
Nick: Only me... and Juliette.
Hank: Kelly would have trusted her.
Nick: With her life.
Hank: I think maybe she did, Nick.

I watched and rewatched all the Grimm seasons, so I do know what 'went down' - I agree with all of what you say, but for Kelly to even show up with Diana was such a stupid thing, I went back in my mind to figure out just what was going on in their minds (the royals, Kenneth, Juliette, Kelly) that I was beside myself with disbelief. Where it picked up with the hundjager following Trubel down the street, then it became comfortable to watch again.
As far as her being a clueless imbecile, as I said before, I think she was almost catatonic/robotic and became that true criminal. Of course, none of any of this would have happened if not for the cat scratch compliments of Adalind, then all the other stuff that happened to her. Juliette just lost the plot totally. And she (Juliette) said it best when at the spice shop, "There's enough blame to go around." That's the bottom line for me. And none of them could honestly disagree with that, and Rosalee says as much. And they all love and miss the original Juliette.
