The Visualities and Aesthetics of Prosecuting Aged Defendants
The prosecution—whether domestic or international—of international crimes and atrocities may implicate extremely aged defendants. Much has been written about the legalisms that inhere (or not) in trying these barely alive individuals.

The present study th…
