RE: Herold's fate/legacy
I agree that Herold's loyalty has to be considered when remembering him. The entire plot was just a stupid and incredibly reckless thing to take part in, but there are so many things to consider when judging. Once he and Booth had cleared the city, Herold could have taken off and I think maybe gotten away for good. The fact that he stuck by Booth at least says something good about him. Now, the question of exactly why he was loyal to Booth and stuck by him is wide open I guess.
