Low DDP points, granted, but HPDP and Deathrace gold, maybe. Despite the verdict, he might not spend his final months in jail. Both sides have a week to appeal, and both prosecutors and the defense said they would consider whether to do so. Defense lawyer Hans Holtermann said Groening remains free in the meantime, and given his age and the possible length of appeal proceedings it was uncertain whether he would actually go to prison. He can either appeal the ruling or he might be deemed unfit to go to jail due to his age and general state of health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
