Honestly, his guilt for the shit they wanted to hang on him was never established in a way that to doubt it would be perverse. Pretty much exactly the opposite.
OTOH, as our legal system does in many cases, it is going to kill him to hold him accountable for other things that it could not credibly establish by referring to the one thing it can. The death of a fellow prisoner...which, generously, the us prison system gives no shits about.
In the end, just as you say, all of that is just inside ball. The state wont save anyone or save any money by killing him. There's no moral or practical cover to be had.
