I just thought this might interest some of you.
Historically witches were almost always killed once accused or discovered. to give you a context consider heretics. Heretics were almost always given a chance at redemption in that they were allowed to confess, repent and ultimately submit to the Church. The were generally only executed after one or more relapses into heresy.
Witches were almost universally executed even if the confessed and begged for a chance at redemption. The church was simply unforgiving in this regard. Part of that was biblical as Leviticus 20:27 and exodus 22;18 are particularly unforgiving in this regard. re:
Leviticus 20:27
New International Version
"'A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.'"
King James Bible
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
GOD'S WORD® Translation
"Every man or woman who is a medium or a psychic must be put to death. They must be stoned to death because they deserve to die."
Exodus 22:18
New International Version
"Do not allow a sorceress to live."
King James Bible
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
GOD'S WORD® Translation
"Never let a witch live."
the point being, in terms of Grimm, it would be in good keeping for Juliette, Sean, Diana and Adalind to be put to death without regard for changes in character, sacrifices etc, i.e. without a chance for redemption. I rather like the idea from a statement standpoint and the overall shock value.
