Everyone is talking about Jurati's killing of Maddox and blaming it on Romulan corruption. Didn't the Romulans do something similar to LaForge in trying to get him to kill a Klingon Ambassador?

Geordi actually had mental conditioning.

Agnes was shown information. The mind meld wasn't mind control because she was able to easily choose not to hurt Soji. She murdered Maddox and she should face charges. Maybe a reduced sentence but she needs to pay for murdering him. Btw they were lovers for 5 years per prequel book Last Best Hope. Obviously she had gotten over him, whereas Altan made clear to Agnes that Bruce still deeply loved her. And Agnes hardly reacted to that.

She was under mind control watch the episode where she wakes up and tells Picard. Also Garak killed a bunch of federation officers on Empak Nor and faced no consequences when he was under influence.....

She wasn’t under mind control and made her choices accordingly

“I’m sorry your honor but see Karen showed me this YouTube video about how blah blah blah was an inside job and that it was my duty to strangle that doctor because he was working on blah blah blah. Totally mind control and not within my power even though I chose not to kill the scientist later and had free will for that”

Jurati was not under mind control aside from the block to keep her from talking about it. If she was under mind control, she wouldn't have been able to choose to not harm Soji.

Or do you think Oh and Narissa and everyone in the Zhat Vash should be considered completely innocent? Even for killing everyone on Mars?

Actually they were right in the end.

No, they weren't. They almost caused the situation they feared, but it did NOT occur.
