    Dude’s worst crimes are being addicted to meth and listening to Walt’s advice.

    I guess assassinating the other chemist qualifies as “listening to Walt’s advice”, but murder is technically his worst crime.

      It does. Jesse commits evil acts because Walt backs them into a corner, then puts all the risk on Jesse’s head.

      Jesse’s not blameless, but he would have gone broke smoking his own meth if left to his own devices. I suppose I see Jesse as more of an accessory to Walt’s plans, even when he’s pulling the trigger. His arc is kinda heartbreaking, because he essentially just wants to be as good of a cook as Walt until he becomes Walt and realized he just wanted to be Jesse all along.
