I think with the whole BC/HW storyline, this would have been the perfect opportunity to expand the wesen council (with both wesen and human members who know of wesen) that polices crimes known to be perpetuated by wesen that could not be handled by the normal courts, having equal authority as the regular courts, similarly to the ICC for instance. You have individual state courts with jurisdiction over crimes perpetuated by humans, but this other Wesen court would have the authority to deal with something like Juliette's situation but also have means to exact justice where prison bars were ineffectual. Then you can have Juliette tried and sentenced but then given a second chance to give back by serving the "state" much like Nikita. It would be a choice given her and not forced upon her like we saw. She would probably still go through the deep conditioning because of how wild and violent her hexenbiest was, unfortunately there's no way around that.
