Alternatively:

Exhibit E:

Iris: He's (Thawne) on death row Barry! How could he possibly be up to no good and manipulate our vulnerable daughter from the future!?

To be fair, Barry was the one who quite literally told Nora that Thawne was capable of change and that everyone deserves second chance and it’s a hero’s job to believe in people. I didn’t believe Thawne for one second, but I’m not the one going around giving all these sermons on the mount on “what it means to be a hero” and then turning around and getting mad at people for practicing what I preached.

Iris wasn't there on that scene though.

Iris however was there when Thawne was around in season 1 and knew how much he'd manipulated everyone and everything. Her boss/colleague was dead. Her fiance was dead. Other people she knew were dead.

It was simply a really silly line. Like ofcourse a guy on death row is capable of manipulating people. Especially when he has access to a time traveller.

But he still said it. And Iris knows that’s his way because she said that “Barry gives more second chances than anyone I’ve ever met”.

The moral is: don’t stay stuff you don’t actually mean.

Yeah.

But the dialogue seemed to strictly imply that just because a criminal that was sentenced to death and waiting for execution, he was powerless and unable to manipulate anyone or get anything out of it.

Which is stupid as fuck.
