1) We've seen Hexenbiests on the show who've had a better time keeping their nastier impulses under control. Henrietta and Renard's mom are examples. All the same, try saying "It's just my nature" to the son of the woman you helped to murder, or the relatives of the families who were slaughtered by the Verrat on the same night just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's like a former Auschwitz guard trying to justify his job by saying he was German. That excuse can only get you so far, especially in a court of law.
2) Juliette's pathetic explanation for her betrayal - "I didn't know Kenneth was going to do that" - could only imply she was either lying, or intensely stupid. I have a feeling most Hexenbiests try to rationalize their own cruelty in a similar fashion, but it amounts to the same bullshit line: Projecting your guilt on something that's supposedly outside your control.
On a side note, I've always been a little disturbed how you keep attempting to twist the blame for Kelly's murder ON KELLY HERSELF. It wasn't Juliette writing her an email to lure her into a trap that got her killed. It wasn't Kenneth ripping her head clean off her shoulders that got her killed. Nope, the only real cause for Kelly's head winding up inside her box was her own naivete.
Yes, it might have been dumb on Kelly's part, but the fact remains she implicitly trusted Juliette. Juliette violated that trust. THAT'S why the fanbase refuses to "get over" Juliette's crimes. Given how the writers have glossed over the other felonies you've listed, they probably assumed they would have been able to gloss over Juliette's as well. They were very, very wrong.
