You know if you really think about it the only thing Merlot did wrong was shut down a few security nodes so he could collect test subjects without being disturbed (which backfired, obviously).

And even though he shut down some of the local defenses, he had his heavily armed security droids on site to collect and remove Grimm.

He's framed as the villain in Grimm Eclipse but what were his crimes? Experimenting on mindless beasts of destruction under layers and layers of security in an isolted facility far away from the nearest settlement? Actively reducing the Grimm populaton near a major settlement?

If RWBY hadn't turned up and gotten involved, odds are he would've turned the security system back on when he left instead of bailing out early to avoid detection.
