Re: Can the old get away with murder?

I'm genuinely confused.

If an elderly person is considered to frail to go to prison for fraud, wouldn't they still be too frail for jail, if they had murdered someone, say? Or would this leniency go out the window for a more seriious crime, and a prison place would be secured for them?

It's a matter of principle.
