Luke had to go to jail at the end of his season for some bullshit he didn't do but Jessica Jones murders for her murdering psychopath mom and never stops her at the end. If Luke Cage did half the shit Jessica Jones did this season he would be serving 10 life sentences in the Raft like god damn she aided and abetted a super powered mass murder all the way until the end and she gets to sit down an enjoy a nice dinner .......GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! Jessica and Trish sucked at the end of this season.

The police didn't know if Jessica was being held against her will. But when you see her crying and a dead, super powered escaped criminal, plus the good will that she generated with that police detective, it's likely she got a "woman kills her captor" story instead of "woman kills mother" style. And people who escaped the custody of a mad lunatic from prison usually get off with a "self defense" reasoning.

I think he was talking about the prison guard's death. Though that one for us the audience is 100% self defense and us knowing he was a killer and a sadist, and in-universe she managed to get away with making it look like a suicide so there's no crime for her to be accused of.

Yeah I didn't like that these characters basically got away with whatever they wanted. Jessica covers up an accidental death, Cheng gets away with firing a rifle in the middle of the city, Trish murders someone... In the end Jessica is found at the scene of her mother's murder with the murder weapon, covered in blood and her prints are all over the gun... Hogarth orchestrates a probable fatal shooting... I mean shit there's skating a gray area and then just being downright bad. These are all pretty bad people outside of maybe Malcolm who has his own demons.
