Probably afraid of getting capped by a 12 year old.

The guy has dementia, what good is bringing him into court going to do anyway? Guilty or not it's not like he's going to have the ability to recall anything to argue his case anyway.

Dementia where he is able to vote over 200 times since claiming he has it...

If his ability to make decisions is good enough to vote in the house of lords, then he's good enough to be tried in front of a jury.

If that's the case then yeah there is definitely no reason why he can't stand up in court.

Just because you damage your body bad enough through your choices in life, does not mean justice should completely evade you. It should also be a sign that, no matter how old you are (like for war crimes/crimes against humanity) there should be no statute of limitations.. hopefully to discourage people from committing these crimes in the future.

Your life choice's have nothing to do with getting dementia, it's something that can just happen unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, I agree that if he indeed guilty then he should be punished; although I'm not really sure how they would go about that since you can stick an old man with dementia in a prison because of his care needs.

The point I was making is that him standing up in court would be a pointless excerise due to his condition. They would surely have to base their decision on whatever existing evidence that they already have, since he wouldn't be able to recall much if anything at all anyway.

Just like heart disease and cancer, they are products of your lifestyle and environment (exercise or lack thereof and diet, as well as a positive attitude). Heavy metals accumulate in the brain and have been known to cause mental decline. If one chelates these out of their system, there has been great success in recovering from mental decline (I've seen people "too-far-gone" who are now able to operate as an adjusted individual).

People just don't fucking realize that all these diseases killing 100's of thousands of Americans is due to their diet and surroundings. Cancer is not the DISEASE, it is a SYMPTOM. Our society is a toxic cesspool that we swim in daily, get out of the water and say "Oh god, why am I sick?!".

Take some responsibility for your actions... "it's something that can just happen unfortunately." LOOOOOOOOOOOOL Every thing happens from previous actions/choices. NOTHING and I mean absolutely NOTHING "just happens." That is what the ignorant and naive say to wipe responsibility off their hands instead of actually doing some research and not accepting the status quo/orthodox. Gain some awareness.

I bet he would sprint to the courthouse if they told him a little boy was there begging to be buggered.
