Why would the car still be unable to run if the battery was now charged to 12.5 volts? Could the alternator or the starter be the problem?

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.
