Probably.
Do you reckon we should waste money on it?
The regime was found guilty. It was weighed and seriously found lacking.
What more could be gained from trying this man?
There are many things to be gained by trying him:
educational value - it can be used to remind young people (and some not so young) of the Holocaust;
justice - there's no time limit on such crimes. If he has a defence that he was only obeying orders, let's hear it in an open court and decide if that stands up. But give him a trial;
fairness - surely, if the guy is innocent, he should welcome a trial to clear his name;
finally, of course, there's the whole point that we must send a signal that, should such events recur, that the perpetrators will be hunted until their dying day.
