Adalind could sincerely believe something that just isn't true.
The show is pretty noncommittal about whether that skull-faced ether that rises up from a hexenbiest under certain conditions is just a visual manifestation of power or is actually a second personality that exerts influences on someone's emotional and thought processes. The early seasons suggest the former, while the latter seasons lean the other way. Adalind in s05 appeared to believe it was the latter.
Both Adalind and Juliette at their hexenbiest worst displayed personality traits that seem to fit the profile for bipolar disorder. If tried in a setting in which wesen/hesenbiests were a known phenomenon, a defense might be mounted on that basis.
Even better might be if you could manage to make that skull-faced ether emerge in court and take credit for the crime.
Characters who were poisoned to the extent that they literally did not know who they were or what they were doing would have a much better shot at not being charged at all; any criminal responsibility would be laid on the person who inflicted the poison.
No idea whatsoever how one might mount a defense based on ghostly possession.
