That’s where you missed it, the innocent party is God
That’s not what He did...He paid the price Himself, that’s the Gospel and what love is.
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
John 15:13 NKJV
“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”
Hebrews 1:1-4 NKJV
An unjust Judge wouldn't be innocent.
He did lay down his life for his fellows. He proved his divinity by being willing to go through what he did willingly only to return from the death of his mortal body. The error is the speculation that he died to atone for sin when the changeless Father was already forgiving in the Original Gospel.
There was never a debt that needed to be paid, that's the thinking of the human EGO in an unforgiving and loveless person.
