Might come out... but we've seen how political some of these supernatural trials can be; remember how much the findings of Morgan's trial were so complete and comprehensive!
Plus, even the Biggest Names in the supernatural world are reluctant to speak the name "Nemesis" so I can't really see it going to trial without all of them making sure their people know to keep some details & Names buried.

--- Quote ---I could see the duress being a reason the svartelves to forego killing Thomas, but he still murdered one of their own and a very high weregild would still be demanded.

This, so who is going to pay it? The White Court, since Thomas is a vampire, or the White Council because Thomas is the half brother of a then White Council member, Harry and the grandson of Eb who not only is a member of the White Council, but a sitting member of the Senior Council.. Even if Eb claims he didn't know, would they believe him?

The Whamps (specifically, Lara) would pay it.
The White Council would not -- Thomas is a Vamp, it's Vamp-business.
I suspect Eb hates the very idea of Thomas existing, and would just as soon the Svartalven vengeance erased that blot on the McCoy family honor.

I'm pretty sure she would... if they'd accept a weregild instead of blood (which I think a very chancy bet).
It's only money, which I think
(a) the Whamps don't really value that much (it's just a mortal-centric scorekeeping device)
and
(b) Lara is in control of the decision, and repeatedly goes to great lengths for Thomas
