Good. Justice for murder has no expiry date.
The woman, identified as Irmgard Furchner, worked as a stenographer and typist at the Stutthof death camp near Nazi-occupied Danzig, now Gdansk in northwestern Poland.
"The conviction of the defendant... to a two-year suspended sentence is final," presiding judge Gabriele Cirener said.
Very symbolic, putting a 99 year old into juvenile court
She was not 99 years old when she committed her crimes.
