Justice Delayed


But after 66 years, justice nonetheless.

From the NYT...
A German court on Tuesday convicted an 88-year-old of murdering three Dutch civilians as part of a Nazi hit squad during World War II, capping six decades of efforts to bring the former Waffen SS man to justice.

Heinrich Boere, number six on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most-wanted Nazis, was given the maximum sentence of life in prison for the 1944 killings.

Boere sat in his wheelchair, staring at the floor and showing no visible reaction as the verdict was announced.
