Contrary to public sentiments (and maybe to other countries legal ethos), a German court has the function to first and foremost establish the truth - punishment is secondary to this. In fact, Someone can be found guilty, but still leave the court as a free person. This man, for example, had more than 75 years to bring good to the world, to fight antisemitism, to build a better society than the one that helped him show his most evil face. Let’s hope he made good use of the time - the judges will take this into consideration.
