Are you trying to say that if a mechallel Shabbos convict escaped after conviction but before execution, if he is caught 25 years later he can be executed?

And does it matter if he was convicted and sentenced by beis din (is there even a “sentencing phase”?) or if he escaped after conviction but before sentencing? Indeed, upon conviction of a capital crime in beis din what is the procedure? Is he immediately taken to the place of execution, or are there other formalities first?
