Not quite. CRWBY described the manga as canon, untill it does or says something that directly contradicts what happens in the show. Jacques setting up the duel with the Knight doesn’t contradict the lore (he himself did not attend the duel in neither the White Trailer nor manga) and its in line with his character. So no, we can take that as canon.

And yes actually. While ‘giving him a chanche’ isn’t how I would have worded it, I wouldn’t start writing hate mail to RT, but I wouldn’t cheer it on or encourage it either. If it happens it happens, but I don’t think redeeming him would be a good idea to begin with. He’s no Hiroshi Sato, and he doesn’t really have proper motivation to regret his actions, outside of wanting to get out of jail. We already know that Jacques, while he didn’t intend on so many people dying, doesn’t care about the well-being of the people of Mantle.
