Another question has come to mind as I'm reviewing this class: What if a criminal who has been convicted of one crime that he committed but had committed other crimes that the court doesn't know about, will HASHAM then punish him?
In the notes from the class it says: "HASHEM will look upon the ways of an individual & judge him for his every action.....or if the court does not know about his behavior."

according to Jewish tradition, when a transgression is unknown to the court but has indeed occurred, it remains within the domain of divine justice. The Jewish faith teaches that no act is hidden from God; therefore, every individual is accountable to God for their actions, even if they are not visible to human eyes. In such cases, there is a belief that God finds ways to bring justice to that individual.

I'm reviewing the course Halacha 101 taught by Rabbi Bernestein and I have a question connected to a question one of the students in his live class asked about a person that has done wrong & been punished by the court, does Hashem still punish them? Rabbi said No cause they were punished by the court & things have been fixed.
My questions is: Is Rabbi saying that people who murder & commit other horrible crimes & are in prison won't be judged by HASHEM because our courts already punished them? Especially if they haven't really repented of their crimes & asked HASHEM for forgiveness.? Most criminals don't repent & ask HASHEM for forgiveness.

Q. My questions is: Is Rabbi saying that people who murder & commit other horrible crimes & are in prison won't be judged by HASHEM because our courts already punished them?
Answer: No. They are not forgiven by sitting in jail. The reason is that only by Torah punishment can one be forgiven. Since the current courts do not set their judgment according to Noahide laws it does not aton their sin.
