100-Year-Old Former Nazi Guard Stands Trial in Germany

A 100-year-old man is standing trial for crimes he allegedly committed as an SS Guard at a Nazi concentraion camp during World War II. Due to privacy laws, he’s only being identified as Josef S. He’s charged with more than 3,500 counts of accessory to murder for the deaths of prisoners at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1942 and 1945. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more. #news

A life sentence isn’t that much of a threat when you’re over 100.

People: He might die anytime soon...

Him at 200 years old still in trial: Fools

Meanwhile at the nursing home, hey look that man is wearing Jerry’s favorite sweater! Wait that IS jerry!

[ripbozobannable]

The reason why the man wasn’t caught before is because he was hiding through the folder.

I'll be honest, at his age I would feel like he got away with murder.

[mouser]

I feel like everyone knows this is a waste of time but they're people who still want this to happen

[heisenbergkierkegaard]

I didn't know folders were that effective of a hiding place.

You know what everyone will say “he’s literally on 1hp” quoted

[educated]

If they wanted to hide his face they could’ve just had him call. Also big ups to Germany meanwhile this chick who propelled young brother Emmett is living out her days

[Winston-djxw]

Dude is 100 years old and could literally kick the bucket any day, this just seems like a waste of the courts time.

[empowered]

Well good luck giving time to a man who really doesn't have much time left.

[dominic]

Imagine US soldiers being jailed for following orders. Same. Exact. Thing.

[joshramdath]

He won’t care he’s lived his life, it’s like don’t worry about all the people who’s lives he’s taken. Even if they find him guilty how many more years will he be alive for ? Another year or two

[rachelgarber]

If you wonder why an old man is on trial, remember, his victims didn’t get to grow old lives

[SwaginatorX]

Life sentence to someone who is 100 years old?
That’s legit basically 2-5 years of prison for him.

[xopperr]

I like how they have a guy and his sole purpose is just holding a folder covering the dude's face

[Xposthmous]

Poor guy. They gave him the name of "Joseph S." Sounds like a Stalin reference to me.

[MandalorianDragonTrainer]

Those 3500 people he aided in murdering didn’t get the chance to live a full life of 100 years like he did. His age isn’t an excuse to not face justice.

[LuisMartinez-jbvz]

For those saying they feel bad, remember that he was in hiding for years! He could’ve confessed forever ago, but choose not to
