Lawless Wesen can literally get away with murder...when there is no way to prosecute them in a Human Court without presenting facts that would reveal their Wesen abilities.

There is no 'Wesen Court' in Portland for Nick to turn over lawless Wesen to.

What would you suggest Nick do...turn a blind eye to dangerous Wesen who were harming or killing others?

In the other forum I'm in (tv.com), there was an interesting conversation about this after Marechaussee aired. The basic gist being that it's supposed to be the Wesen Council's job to take care of these things (although they're hardly better, when you think about it).

Please do check out the conversation; I'd be interested to hear your take, both of you. :)

Umm... two? I may be misremembering (it's almost midnight here), but I only remember two, and they both were self-defense. The Blutbad kid in Tribunal, and the Manticore in Marechaussee. And then of course there were the several attempted murders of Adalind, and she eventually attempted to murder Nick, and may or may not have attempted to murder Monroe (it's unclear whether she missed on purpose).

Not disagreeing (well, except for the next point)... just confused.

Not sure if I agree with this. Juliette lured her into a trap. She did not, however, kill her, and she was so far gone mentally that she may have truly believed that Kelly wouldn't be killed, so there wouldn't be any premeditated murder there. Kenneth killed Kelly. And then put her head in a box for Nick to find. Juliette didn't have anything to do with that.

Lurkenfrau also wrote:   Nick covered up Juliette's other killings...do you think that Nick should have arrested her and let the courts decide?

Maybe he should have. It was self-defense in both cases. And fairly easily provable, without giving away Wesen secrets. One was a guy who'd trespassed into their home (legal to kill under those circumstances, as far as I know), not to mention he'd just come from murdering a police officer inside the precinct. The other was a member of a hate group that was already being prosecuted for hate crimes and murder.

Lurkenfrau also wrote:   Juliette had threatened to kill Adalind and his child, in a police station, in front of witnesses. Nick knew that Juliette had killed others, so he had reason to believe that she would kill Adalind and the baby too.

Juliette also used her powers to try to kill Monroe...should he have arrested her for attempted murder?

All true.
