Li Yusheng, a lawyer at Fidelity Law Firm, said that according to the provisions of the Criminal Law, if the offender is 80 years old or above, his sentence can be reduced according to the law. In this way, the sentence for elderly criminals may not be severe enough, resulting in no deterrent effect on the elderly, making it more difficult for the government to manage.
