Defense and Prosecutor got together and convinced the Judge that the General was vital to onging prosecutions.
Notably Rafikian, the General's partner.
Who is still being prosecuted, without the General's involvement whatsoever.
Neither side wanted all this dumped out into the public back then.

Death is separation from God.
The unsaved are dead, yet walking around.
Those in Torment are dead, yet walking around.
Those unbelievers in the future, will be born dead, and unless they believe, will remain dead, separated from God, and then cast into the lake of fire.
Which is the Second Death.
Nobody is in the Second Death at this moment in time.
The Second Death is permanent separation from God, and the lake of fire is currently empty.
Those alive have hope to never occupy it.
