At the time, before he saw the video, he didn't know that guy came at him with a knife. He must have thought he killed an innocent bystander.
Up until now I think most of the guys he killed was while he was in cop-mode. He killed them because they were resisting arrest or in self defense. (The BIG exception to this was when he had Monroe lure those guys out of the hotel so that he kill them. He didn't ask for them to surrender and the only crime they were guilty of was beating up Monroe. so that was not only poorly justified but mostly him acting like a Grimm and killing "bad" wesson.)
Most if not all the people he has killed were "bad" wesson. And we know that dealing with the Grimm side of him and the cop side has been a challenge to him.
This death sort of fell out of the normal range for him. He wasn't acting as a cop, he wasn't acting as a Grimm, the victim wasn't a bad wesson or resisting arrest or anything. He did all that crazy stuff while he was a Zombie. A good lawyer could get him off - its just that the trial and testimony would be really really crazy.
Not taking responsibility and having everyone involved in the cover - up was totally the "right" thing to do. It just goes against Nick's "cop nature".
i totally agree, this is how i saw things too.
this guy was kinda innocent if you think of it, he had a knife but he was using it, i guess you could argue in self-defence and that maybe what the prosecution would say, IMO!
Quote:Yeah, his being a Grimm already was a problem for Baron Samedi, and then Nick was dosed twice ... and no one knows what that means.
To be fair to Juliette, the last thing anyone thinks of in a situation like that is being gentle. You definitely want your loved one to "wake up".
its actually not a gentle way of waking someone its just not violent LOL! if you tap your collarboan its really annoying. i was wondering that the zombie thing might be a sensory overload and that in their "drugged-up" state didn't know how to deal with the overload other then to lash out in a violent way. it would explain why he turned grey/dead while listening to juliet.
@helljacket: i think you are totally right, it wasn't strange to me that he wanted to turn himself in but why he didn't turn himself in. that guy was actually innocent, nick was so crazed that a guy with a gun was terrified of him. nick really has no defence.
