The problem with classification is that some may see others a more major crimes and eventually be partial towards the others.

Stealing the last meal of a poor family is terrible, but it won't get you a bigger sentence than let's say, sexual assault. The thing is, sexual assault maybe more damaging pyschologically, but we will stil; have to remember that that thief is still a person just like the assaulter who both made terrible choices.

Now, it is true that the show tosses all these around too lightly. I think with redmeption the show should make the major offenses more rare and really tense. I mean, half of the characters flippantly kill other people making them more like sociopaths.

Noone goes from I'm okay with life to I'm going to kil this woman (Marian) and then changes their mind. Noone goes, "I'm going to kill my girlfriend's family" to "I should reconsider" and come out being considered a hero.

Robin's distrust of Zelena was totally fine and what the show tells the audience is that it's alright to blackmail (through love) to get what you want. Regina telling Robin to give Zelena the baby is shown to be in the right at the end of the day, but they rarely settled that issue when he was promptly killed off and guess who gets the baby!
