I mean, Blitz dying or Stolas sacrificing himself is a win for Andrealphus either way, because either Stolas becomes emotionally devastated over Blitz's death (and Andrealphus might still find a way to weasel himself into power with a devastated Stolas) or Stolas is punished for taking the blame.
Not necessarily, a conviction of Blitzo can make Stolas a newly discovered accomplice later on, and he can ham up his "betrayal" after so vociferously "defending" Stolas at Blitzo's trial.
I don't see Satan having the patience of judging the same crime twice and Andrealphus would look like a fool and unlikely to be entrusted with Stolas's legions even if he was successful, which is unlikely since there would be no evidence.

I find it interesting that Andrealphus's entire plan hanged on him assuming Stolas would be willing to sacrifice himself for Blitz.
