#1 About a one year sentence for mass murder. Hmmmm. Our gangs use young kids for a lot of their risky criminal operations since they won't do much time as juvenile offenders. Makes even more sense to use the elderly in a similar fashion since they can't do much time. Do we have any WWII vets who want to go out in style on a hunt for Osama etc?

#2 I recall that PETA made the same call for oldsters to commit eco-terrorism, but nobody responded. I am also aware of an appeal for older Australian men, especially veterans, to perform acts of civil disobedience on behalf of the pro-life movement, but the agent provacateur was denounced by churches and pro-life organizations, and ignored by the media.

#3 So first the elderly gentleman had to spend a full decade trundling between the jailhouse and the courthouse for the trial? Fair enough -- this last stretch will be a doddle by comparison.
