Anders Breivik trial started this morning.
I feel ill. The prosecutor is going through the list of the 77 innocent young people this animal butchered and he just sits there with a silly smirk on his face.
He tells the court that he does not recognise it.
Good. Take him outside and hand him over to the mob and let him complain to them. Right now, strapping him to a saw table and splitting him in two from the groin upwards as slowly as possible almost seems to good.
Tell me star, how can the trial be fair if he announces that he does not recognise the Norwegian Court?
Fair to whom?
Very interesting to watch the BBC 2 This World programme last night, recommend it to others if repeated or on iPlayer -
Synopsis : This World tells the inside story of the 2011 massacre in Norway, offering new insights into the life and mind of the perpetrator Anders Breivik, and exposing the hidden hatreds that inspired him. Through interviews with key players, including the Norwegian prime minister, survivors, the commander of the police response and the head of the Delta Force team that arrested Breivik, and including unique footage and unseen archive, the film pieces together, minute by minute, the course of the attacks and the response of the security services.
Whilst Breivik confessed moments after his arrest, today in court he pleaded not guilty.
The trial's primary purpose now is to establish if he was insane when he committed his attacks. Two teams of court-appointed psychiatrists have assessed Breivik in prison. The first, whose report came out in October last year, concluded he was a paranoid schizophrenic whose vision of the world was delusional to the point of madness. The second team, who reported this week, believed the opposite - that he was sufficiently sane to be held criminally responsible for his actions.
The judges must decide which report is correct.
As for GnV's view, sadly have to agree with Star on this occasion.
Like Howard Shipman or Peter Sutcliffe in the UK and Jean-Claude Romand in France, as the alledged crimes were committed in those countries juristriction, then the trials were held within that country. The only other possible Court might be the Hague, but as this is usually the International War Crimes and Anders Behring Breivik, as far as we know, hasn't been charged with these type of offences, then it's only proper he his being tried in a Norwegian court
he we know about.
many others that we dont.
quite scarey watching him on the news.....not an ounce of remorse. Handcuffs off and first thing he does, is his right wing salute !! Took over an hour to read out all the names of those he killed !! Must admit I do like the way they are handling it in Norway. They are determinded to have a fair trail, and let him have his say, but refuse to give him a platform for his sick, far right rantings....and so will have the cameras switched off, when he speaks.
I have yet to meet a norwegian I disliked.
LOL
I don't know to be honest.
Charm is one of the traits of a psychopath after all.
No I wouldn't scream human rights, just a victim of a bad system in the UK and in other countries, a system that says evidence can be inadmissable, that previous convictions have no relevance to the charge, that you can be tried and convicted in your absence because guilt is the only reason for non attendance at court for example, would I seek compensation or even retrial, no why bother under this system.
There is no doubt he did it; he has admitted as such (although he refuses to plead other than the killings were done in self defence).
The only doubt is whether he was criminally responsible which is why the shrinks are in Court sitting in front of the Judges. That is the main reason for the trial at this time. The prosecution still have the right to change the indictments to reflect any change in circumstance. It's probably a case of 'give him enough rope, and he'll probably hang himself'. His rambling demeanour is favouring fruit cake status at it presently stands from what I can see.
What I believe is required here is a Jacob Leon Rubenstein
Justice would be for him to suffer 77 deaths and all the misery that goes along with them.
His actions were not due to a momentary lapse of reason,they were planned,he is just plain evil.
I don't understand why they are having a trial. He has admitted in court that he did it and offered no viable defence. There is a clear definition of self-defence and it requires immediate threat to life or property. Him thinking what he did was justified and imagining the established justice system of the country that nourished him doesn't apply to him is irrelevant.
He has admitted he did it, what is there to discuss? Time to move to sentencing.
Foxy,
because he has actually pleaded not guilty, even though he clearly accepts he did do it. However he believes his country is being invaded by foreigners and so calls it an act of self defence !!!!
fact is he will without doubt be found guilty. The only question is should he go to prison or a mental institute. He himself has favoured the death penalty. No doubt seeing himself as a martyr to the cause, dieing for his beliefs !! However in norway this is not an option. What he wants least in his won words is to be "locked up in a mental institute with a load of nutters, and be monitored 24 hours a day and told his views and actions are wrong all day ".
Interesting enough the one survivor I heard on the radio said the other day, they hope and pray he is classed as insane and locked up in mental hospital, as that is exactly what he doesn't want and fears most !!!!
