re: 88 Year old Charged with Strangulation

If I were that guy, I would just kill myself before imprisonment. He'll probably be 89 by the time he gets behind bars. He might live a couple years in there. Prison is not a place for a 90 year old man. I'd make my peace, go out and enjoy myself on bail, then go out peacefully.

This will never go to trial. They'll get him on antipsychotics and he'll live out the remainder of his life in a locked memory care unit. Which is another kind of prison. One a lot of us will find ourselves in if we're not fortunate enough to be taken out by something else first.

That could be any one of us, or any one of our family members in that pic.. When your brain deteriorates, it's one of the things that can happen.
