        My point is, at this stage of his life prison is pointless. He won't serve a quarter of his sentence.

        it's not pointless to his victims and it's about them not him.

        True but I just can't see the point of locking someone up for a few months.

        Because without sentence it would set a legal precedence of escaping prison with extenuating circumstances

        Good. Age should not exempt anyone from punishment. His victims can rest a little now knowing he's been brought to justice now.
