The accused has not left the game, only deleted the characters. As long as the account is there, the player is still part of the game. Then there is also the matter of reversing the ban should the accused be found guilty.
On reversing the ban, the realm is already taking care of this, we will appoint a new judge and revert it.
Edit: The ban on Aethelwulf went into effect, we will revert it as soon as the new judge is appointed.
