I don't hate Boomer. I'm thinking that she did intend to join the good guys, and then the good guys wanted to kill her, so she needed a new plan.

They didn't even give her a chance. All of those cylons helped kill millions/billions and they're allowed to redeem themselves, but the humans will sign away Boomer's life (because, yeah, I'm with the Chief in thinking that the only verdict that would have ever come out of that trial would be 'guilty').

I mean, the choices that Boomer made were horrible, but she didn't have any good options.
