Considering the case was solely based on circumstantial evidence it isn't too bad.

Actually, since the evidence was enough to convict, then 10 years
is pretty bad.
Of course, I'm not an expert on German court evidence rules.

I don't disparage those who prosecuted this case or think they let the guy off easy on purpose. They prosecuted him well and sentenced him, if I understand things correctly, to the fullest extent their law allowed.
I heard speculation on the news tonight about a possible extradition to the US after he's released? Obviously if he could be, there would have to be the promise of no death penalty, but that's not what I'm wondering about. I just wonder if he could be tried again here for the same crimes?
