如果这种违法行为是出于陷害、报复、贪赃或者其他个人目的,应当追究刑事责任。
As China's criminal Law stipulated that the maximum number of years of criminal responsibility was twenty years, the old man could probably be released without being charged.由于已过我国刑法规定的最高20年的刑事责任追诉时效,杀人老汉有可能被无罪释放。
If the ACTS committed by citizens and legal persons constitute crimes, criminal responsibility of their legal representatives shall be investigated in accordance with the law.构成犯罪的,对公民、法人的法定代表人应当依法追究刑事责任。
