Rättegången mot Anders Behring Breivik [Sammanfogade trådar]

OSLO, Norway — The first chapter of a terror case that has haunted Norway for 13 months will end Friday as confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik receives his judgment for bomb and gun attacks that left 77 people dead and more than 200 injured.

After deliberating for two months, a five-judge panel in Oslo’s district court will decide whether to send the right-wing extremist to prison or to a mental hospital.

Breivik, a 33-year-old Norwegian on a mission to expel Muslims from Europe, has admitted to the twin attacks that jolted the country on July 22, 2011.

Ila-fängelset förbereder sig på att ta emot Norges mest hatade brottsling. På fredag faller domen mot Anders Behring Breivik. Så här blir hans liv innanför murarna.

The test of Norwegian justice

Work this one out.

If the Norwegian court passes sentence down on Breivik tomorrow stating that he is criminally insane, which means they accept that he is a psychotic schizophrenic as the first set of State sanctioned psychiatrists concluded contrary to almost all other health professionals in this field, which means he must be sent to a psychiatric hospital under the care of psychiatrists for compulsory treatment. Then the psychiatrists there, if they do not believe he is what the judge has ruled he is do not have to treat him.

Quote: Psychiatry at Regional Security Department Dikemark says it is unthinkable to treat Anders Behring Breivik (33) on the basis of an expert report ordered by the court.

Does that not show there is something fundamentally wrong with the Norwegian justice system?

The judge sitting at the top of the justice chain rules someone is 'insane' in a legal sense because 2 corrupt State psychiatrists say he is but the actual experts in psychiatry who will deal with him on a daily basis disagree and refuse to treat him for psychotic symptoms because they judge him to be sane.

The psychiatrists who will be dealing with Breivik if the judge passes down the insane label have already evaluated him and stated he is not insane.

The only thing the insane label on Breivik does is endorses the Norwegian State's cover-story in the eyes of the public around the World who will not be looking at the underlying issues surrounding the verdict, or the bigger story surrounding the case.

Anders Behring Breivik's defence lawyers say the confessed mass killer will not appeal if he is sentenced to prison but he will challenge any ruling that declares him insane.

Breivik, who claims he is a "militant nationalist," said during the trial that being sent to an insane asylum would be the worst thing that could happen to him and accused Norwegian authorities of trying to cast him as sick to deflate his political views.

OSLO—Those expecting Anders Behring Breivik to spend the rest of his days alone in a cramped cell will be disappointed when the far-right fanatic receives his sentence Friday for killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage last year.

If declared insane, the confessed killer will be the sole patient of a psychiatric ward that Norway built just for him, with 17 people on staff to treat him.

If found mentally fit, he will remain isolated, for now, in the high-security prison where he disposes of three 8-square-metre cells: a bed room, an exercise room and a study.

Officials at Oslo’s Ila Prison say the ambition would be to eventually transfer Breivik to a section with other prisoners, who have access to a school that teaches from primary grades through university-level courses, a library, a gym, work in the prison’s various shops and other leisure activities.

It’s all about a philosophy of humane prison treatment and rehabilitation that forms the bedrock of the Scandinavian penal system.

Oavsett resultat kommer utfallet att bli omdiskuterat. En undersökning som SIFO gjort för GP:s räkning visar att 57 procent av svenskarna tycker att Breivik ska sitta i fängelse för sina brott.

– Har en person utfört ett sådant fruktansvärt brott vill folk att han ska få det värsta straffet som finns. Och eftersom vi inte har dödstraff vill folk att han ska sitta länge i fängelse, säger kriminologen Jerzy Sarnecki.
