It just came about from their own indifference towards storytelling.I hold the decision makers accountable for everything whether good, bad, or indifferent. Juliette's sins weren't any more or less intentional than other character's.

You're struck by Juliette's choices which led to Kelly's death and near death of Hank. I'm struck by their willingness to kidnap a child because a Grimm wants her for her powers and to protect themselves from an enemy.
For you, Kelly's death is practically unforgivable. For me, Kelly's death was the result of her own actions/decisions. The consequences are unbalanced from either point of view - Kelly's dead and Juliette's a Hexenbiest while everyone else moved on with their lives. But life isn't fair, even in fiction.
