In terms of how he's supposedly often been portrayed, I think it's just in Leo's nature to believe there is good somewhere in most people. And not surprising he'd want it to be in her since he found himself attracted to her, and prob even more so now after finding out she's, in essence, his sister via [his] adoption.

But personally I wouldn't trust her unless she legitimately abandons current alliances and goes "home" to her real father (be he a rat or not) and adopted brothers. Leo has always been fairly optimistic when it comes to others. Especially where Karai is concerned (both this version and 2003). I think he would want to believe that even more now that the Turtles know she is really Splinter's long lost daughter, Miwa. He was determined before to get her on their side, but he will be more determined than ever now.
