The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
If the Denarians are trapped in Demonreach...
Maz:
Accepting someone's claim of repentance or giving someone the chance at repentance is significantly different than ensuring someone perpetual freedom so that they could exercise their will to repent.
I don't see the Knights thinking "The Fallen must be free in case they change their minds!"
Or is it the coinholders, technically... either way... the Knights would be working to free the Naagloshii and everything else already there... there's probably at least one denizen of Hell in there already. As to the coins finding a way out... I presume that's accomplished via a link and something "exercising" power to make it happen... which might draw Alfred's attention.
Conflict between Alfred and the powers below might put the prison at risk and that is the one reason I'd worry - but then again... there are already things in there that have friends who are probably just as big and bad and its stood the test so far.

Also, while we can always take what Nic says with a grain of salt, he still said that Murphy may have been able to actually get away with executing him had she not judged. He was, after all, in the middle of some evil deeds, coin holder or not.
And Michael killed a Dragon, a handful of fae, Susan and Murphy killed both Vampires and non-vampire Jaguar Warriors at Chichen Itza. The swords are not limited to use against Denarians. And finally, it was the killing of an innocent that would unmake the Sword in Grave Peril, not just killing of a human.
As for Michael thinking Harry had taken up the coin, he thought that Harry still had the Shadow, not that he'd gone full on Denarian.

Nope. When Harry told him about Lasciel, Michael's response was an offer to help him set aside the Coin, and he was surprised when Harry said he'd never taken it up.

The don't go free if they haven't given up their coin and surrendered... Now some do get away in fights for various reasons and Knights to get killed from time to time.

Very true, but she did judge... But the better example is Cassius, Harry argued that he was playing Michael and Sanya, that he would never reform, that he should be snuffed... Both Michael and Sanya said it wasn't their place to judge him, he gave up the coin thus gave himself a chance at redemption... That what their job is, they both explained, to give Cassius a chance, what he does with it is up to him and none of their business.

If the Knights were to chase the Denarian's all the time they couldn't have a life. At least on the surface it appears that they can act only to counter some act of the Denarian's. If they aren't doing anything then the Knight's can't, or are not required to, act. This is Michael's argument, more of less, in Small Favor. If Jim wasn't thinking along those lines then Skin Game is a joke.
