Though my read on it is she was the most likely to have reported him killing the turtlenecks to trigger the death sentence by SC vote, but probably also the primary mover for getting it suspended instead of passed. I think you're right - she's rattled and wants a tighter leash on him.

Majority? Really? Four of the Senior members were either in surgery or still off defending the Outer Gates.. The Merlin had to have known that smelled too much of a "kangaroo court," even for him, so they switched it to expulsion, also knowing that like the proverbial bad penny, Harry will turn up again, then with clear consciences they can order his death..

They did not dare to actually kill Harry because they are afraid of Mab.

No, majority of the open council membership. The expulsion vote came first and was open to all members. That's why Ebenezar was advising in PT that Harry should go to Edinburgh and shake some hands with the other members to reassure them before they voted on him, before everything went pear-shaped.
According to Carlos, it was the suspended capital sentence for roasting turtlenecks that the Merlin decided behind closed doors with Ancient Mai (and, I assume, Martha Liberty). That came after the expulsion vote passed.

The whole Harry-just-deputized-Toot-rather-than-trying-to-understand-what-he-was-doing vis-a-vis the Za Lord is one of the plots I find most interesting.
I'm now banking on Martha being the one to spill the beans. Crossing my fingers he's becoming an immortal Fae Lord with no clue as to the fact.

Martha spilling which beans? Meaning she's actually on Harry's side? That'd make sense in an offbeat way. She's seemed to stay the farthest from him of his erstwhile allies in the council. Could be she's trying to lay low because she knows something is after Harry's allies. Hard to stab someone in the back from a distance. I more expect a traitor we trust.
On the immortal fae being line. Jogged an idea, immortals gain power from mortal belief yes? Could it work, in a slightly different way, in reverse? Harry's gaining faeness from being worshipped as a semi deity by the Za guard? This combined with known feats/challenges conquered equates some sort of immortal status? As example, let's look at a mash up of classic Hercules show and Disney's. You could say doing the 12 labors gained him the recognition amongst the gods to grant him status perhaps?
Idk, just thinking there might be something to immortal peerage acceptance/worship.
