Nick dumped her, the scoobies dumped her, Nick puts her in jail, Adalind turns up, pregnant with Nick's kid. Juliette, enraged, tries to attack Adalind and Nick intervenes. Juliette torches the trailer. The rage Juliette experienced could actually constitute temporary insanity. She could be completely lucid and remember everything. However, during those periods of rage, Juliette could defend herself, stating her rage made her mentally ill, and thus unable to control herself.
And the fact she contributed to the murder of Kelly Burkhardt by voluntarily cooperating with Kenneth? Not to mention the as-yet-undisclosed number of neighbors who were slaughtered by Kenneth's thugs on the exact same night because she disclosed the location of Nick's home? Houses that probably contained entire families who were savagely butchered? Is the jury supposed to gloss over those sordid little details?
Also, you're presenting a false version of what actually went down. The "Scoobies" DID try to help Juliette by offering her a potion designed to curb her nastier instincts, but she rejected it, and would have committed homicide in the process if not for Hank's intervention. They didn't dump her, she dumped them.
