A palliative care nurse in Germany has been sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of the murder of 10 patients and the attempted murder of 27 others.
Prosecutors alleged that the man, who has not been publicly named, injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives in an effort to ease his workload during shifts overnight.
It’s still possible. Even with the particular severity of guilt, life sentences are usually commuted to probation after 16 to 20 years, which would still give him 7 to 3 years until retirement age.
Honestly if I was 3-7 years from retirement and I had a choice between a somewhat comfortable prison or going to some shit job because no one will hire me as a felon…
Really depends what their priorities are at that point. Who is left in their life who still cares about them, knowing they were murdering people left and right.
I’m guessing they’ll get out after 16 years and find some way to not work, if they get out.
