Saul never killed anyone. Never assaulted anyone. Never encouraged anyone to kill or assault or steal from anyone. He had the chance to rip off the Kettlemen's, didn't do it. He had the chance to rip off Lalo. He didn't do it. I may need to rewatch BB but I think his role was really just a sleazebag attorney who was doing his work at the point of a gun in reality.

I think the purpose of the winnebago flasback and the flashback of Mike and Saul discussing Walt in the cathedral of justice were suppose to show us that Saul truly does believe that Walt couldnt have accomplished what he eventually did without him. And so therefore walt never could have hurt as many innocent people as he did without Saul.

In the flashback, mike tells Saul not to waste his time with the chemistry teacher. That he was a waste of time and would be in jail in a month or two. But then it shows Saul in next scene walking up to Walt’s high school and then it cuts off. We know from BB what happened next though. that Saul did go to Walts classroom that one day contrary to mike’s advice, and the rest is history. So Mike says walt would be jail in a few weeks, and so,Saul thinks “ shite, Im the one that kept that monster out of jail all these years and look at all the destruction and carnage and deaths it caused.”

At least, thats what i think they tried to set up for us to believe, And thats pretty much what he says in the finale court scene where he turns back into jimmy

As for Saul’s crimes in BB, hthere were many though. And he definitely encouraged murders, etc. He called it “taking a trip to Belize.” He even helped with Walt’s plot to poison the mexican kid and make jessie think it was his fault. Saul got Huell to pick pocket the cig off Jessie remeber?
