Probably not. There'd be charges, but they'd be different and lesser.
Adalind tried to kill Marie, then arranged a hit during which Marie died . That's attempted murder for the first try, aggravated murder (murder for hire) for the second. Penalty: 7 years 6 months minimum for the first attempt, life without parole or death for the second.
Juliette assisted with a kidnapping that ended in murders. But unless evidence can be found that she actually knew the murders would happen (should have known isn't enough), the most likely charge is felony murder (death which occurs during the commission of a felony). Penalty: 6 yrs 3 mos minimum.
However, Adalind was a criminal from the start, and acted with "premeditation" and "malice aforethought." Juliette was a full-fledged member of Team Scoobie who was inadvertently and unwillingly transformed into a hexenbiest. She went into a conspicuous downward emotional spiral with unstable behavior that radically altered her personality prior to her ultimate crime. Further complicating matters, an agency of the US govt took her and subjected her to unspecified mind altering treatments. So there was probably already a basis for a possible "qualifying mental disorder" defense, and then HW's abduction and brainwashing would probably result in all the charges being thrown out anyway.
