That they all helped and showed no emotion. Is further proof that wesen she life and death different then normal humans. Nick was the only one that found the idea extremely strange that Adalind would even suggest it let alone go through with it.
Comments also take offense to Juliette being part of killing Nicks mother. But have no comment about Nicks mom killing Adalind's mother. She was even willing to ignore that if Kelly would help her. with all the things Adalind has done people have no problem seeing her as a better person then Juliette. who only has two action people keep sighting as making her nonredeemable. Though getting retribution for Adalind's mother's killer was not Juliette intent. Yet Adalind made no comment about her mothers death be avenged. I wonder if Eve will bring it up as a way to make piece with Adalind. It could be a way Eve and Adalind could bound reminding each other of what Nick has done to each of them.
Adalind wanted Kelly to help her get Diana back because she thought the Royals took them. I don't find it hard to believe that she valued getting her newborn child back over avenging her dead mother. It actually makes a lot of sense for her to want to reclaim her living daughter over avenging her dead mother.
Adalind using her mother's dead body for the suppressant also made sense. She was trying to protect herself and her unborn baby from Juliette and felt that this was the only way to do it. It's very distasteful but it's better than sitting there and doing nothing while a very powerful and vengeful Hexenbiest is coming to kill you.
Was it self-serving? Absolutely! There's no denying it. Except that the show does. They explicitly had Trubel say that she knew Adalind was trying to help Juliette. That had nothing to do with it but this is what the show wants us to believe.
You often comment about what the show is trying is tell us and how we're using our personal bias to take things of context. I don't deny bias in forming opinions. I think I've watched the show enough to form decent ones that don't come out of thin air.
Grimm's way of the gang having any semblance of sympathy for Adalind cutting up her mom was Monroe telling her maybe she shouldn't see this and Rosalee asking her if she was ok after they had already started. I think that was enough in the writers' minds. The scoobies were much more concerned about Juliette than they were about Adalind or her mother which is not farfetched. Hank is a human and he had no problem with it.
Comparing the virtues of Adalind and Juliette doesn't mean either one is good. No matter which one is the better person, that does not equate to that one being a good person. The comparison becomes more difficult because we're supposed to remember that Juliette no longer exists. She's Eve now. By default, I guess that would mean Juliette is a better person because she can't do any more damage.
