A new psychiatric examination has found that confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik is not criminally insane, contradicting an earlier assessment.
he will subjected to compulsory psychiatric care instead of imprisonment.
Oh goody, another Vince Li.
If he would have been found psychotic. Which he wasn't by the second report.
I don't know exactly how it works in Norway, but in The Netherlands, one can be held till the day they die in a psych ward. "Life in prison" is usually 25 years, I read that in Norway, it is 21 years. 1/3 time off for "good behaviour", and he will be out in 14.
Except as Brenda points out, he will probably get out of jail sooner this way. I do believe that in Norway the govt can apply to keep somebody longer than 21 years - ie dangerous offender status. I doubt they will just release him after 14 or even 21 years.
Norway has abolished life imprisonment, but retains other forms of indefinite imprisonment
"DanSC" said Norway is similar. Unless they change sentencing laws, the killer will likely be a free middle-aged man around 20 years from now.
That's disturbing but what's even more disgusting is the Norwegian Prison System that he'll be incarcerated in.
Can a prison possibly justify treating its inmates with saunas, sunbeds and deckchairs if that prison has the lowest reoffending rate in Europe? Live reports from Norway on the penal system that runs contrary to all our instincts - but achieves everything we could wish for
He's not crazy. That only leaves evil. Somebody kill him.
In Europe ?
Not bloody likely.

Nothing like taking care of your special citizens, even if they are mass murderers, rapists, arsonists and theives.
Hang the evil bastard.
Upside down, by his balls (if he has any).
