He made a deal. He gave up some names.

I guess I could understand if they explicitly said, "he would not face the death penalty" because he made a deal. But they don't say "he won't face it".

prosecutors determined the crimes he faced were not eligible under federal law

"not eligible", I think, implies that his crime wasn't serious enough to warrant such a charge in the first place. That's crazy.
