That wasn’t my question. My question was asked in response to your comment that Juliette and Renard should have been able to resist the influence of spells and possessions: What is different about Nick committing acts of violence and murder while under the influence of the zombie spell compared to Juliette and Renard? If Juliette, a human, is expected to resist the negative influence of a spell, why wouldn’t Nick, a Grimm, also be expected to resist the negative influence of a spell?

Kenneth wasn’t a scapegoat only for Renard. In fact, it was Nick & Hank’s idea. Nick also needed to conceal that he’d murdered Kenneth, with Hank & Wu’s help. Falsifying the police report to name Kenneth as the serial killer covered up both men’s crimes. The only difference, Renard was possessed by an evil spirit, Nick planned Kenneth’s murder for revenge.

Renard talked him out of it. Compare that to Renard. When he learned he had murdered the hookers he only looked for a way to dodge responsibility and had no remorse.Nick is a grown man. If he’d truly wanted to turn himself in, Renard could not have talked him out of it. Excusing Nick from taking responsibility would be the same as excusing Adalind because she couldn’t/wouldn’t go against what Renard wanted. If Renard had that much control over Nick it stands to reason he’d have the same amount of control over Adalind.
