2) And what about being willing accomplices in Cinder's plan of taking down Beacon and causing a Grimm Horde to break into Vale (twice), putting at risk countless lives in the best case scenario? You speak as if the only one responsible for a crime is the one directly doing it, while any helpers they had are free of all guilt and charges.

If anything, the fact that she gave as little fucks about people as Merc the trained assassin with shitty childhood so long as it was for Cinder, only makes her harder to forgive. Precisely, if she and Mercury got caught in Vale, they could've been charged with aiding and abetting along with being accessories to a terrorist attack. Just being involved is a serious criminal offense, and if their lawyer gave the defense that Blizzard proposed (people have done much worse and been forgiven) if I was the judge i'd immediately throw the book at him, and throw them in the clink for the rest of their lives. They feel no remorse for what the did to Beacon, Vale, and later Haven, so they shouldn't be forgiven so easily.
