He never got to face justice.
| Quote: | | In March 2005, the Chilean appeals court voted to reverse a lower-court ruling that Pinochet could be prosecuted for his alleged role in Operation Condor, a co-ordinated effort by six South American governments to hunt down and kill political opponents in the 1970s. |

He was however under house arrest at the time he became ill because of the murder of two political oponents het was charged with.

Yes, but at least now, once he's in the ground, we can jump up and down upon his grave.

Yes, well I suppose it was clear for a long time now that it was going to end up this way.
