4. Fine, then unreasonably punish him.

11. considering he 'unreasonably' punished a whole lot of people

who would be 90 without his benevolence, yeah. Punish his ass but good. Since when is age a deterrent for the cost of your evil deeds? If that were true, no kids would be in jail.

He murdered potential 90 year olds. He has no exemption for his age. None.

5. This argument was used in the Leona Helmsley case...

It got her husband off:

The trial was delayed until the summer of 1989 due to numerous motions by the Helmsleys' attorneys—most of them related to Harry's health. He had begun to appear enfeebled shortly after the beginning of his relationship with Leona Helmsley years before, and had recently suffered a stroke on top of a pre-existing heart condition. Ultimately, he was ruled mentally and physically unfit to stand trial, and Leona had to face the charges alone.<4>

Helmsley served 18 months in federal prison. Her later years were apparently spent in isolation, especially after Harry died in 1997, leaving Leona his entire fortune (including the Helmsley hotels, the Helmsley Palace and the Empire State Building), estimated to be worth well in excess of $5 billion.

So Harry remained free for another eight years and enjoyed his $5,000,000,000.

Why is it only the young and healthy are subject to harsh prison terms?

6. Perhaps a little enhanced interrogation.

It's legal and he probably knows where Hitler really is.

Well he wont spend much time in jail but he will go to his grave as a convicted Nazi war criminal.Better then nothing.

9. The years from 'X' to age 91 were borrowed years...

...that he did not deserve to enjoy as a free man. Absolutely prosecute him to the fullest extent!

10. They can still hang the son of a bitch.

Or gas him.

12. someone should give you that job

we would see if you actually have the guts to kill a 91yr old man who the Israeli govt exonerated for being a Nazi guard

14. How many old folks did he help murder?

Too old to work? Go straight to the gas chamber...

13. Easy, low cost fix...

push him off a 200 foot cliff. If he survives, leave him alone.
