A court in Norway has sentenced Anders Breivik to 21 years in jail, after ruling that he was sane when he killed 77 people in bomb and shooting attacks last year. The judge said his actions could be explained in the context of his fanatical right-wing views, rather than as a product of a sick mind. Prosecutors who wanted to Breivik to be declared insane say they will not appeal. Lars Bevanger reports.
对于去年在炸弹和开枪袭击中杀死77人的安德斯·布雷维克,挪威一家法院先是判定他作案时神志正常,然后将之判以21年监禁。法官说,布雷维克的行为可以用他狂热的右翼主义观点来解释,而不是心理问题引起的。原来希望宣判布雷维克神志不清醒的检举人称不会上诉。Lars Bevanger报道。
Judge Wenche Arntzen ended months of speculation just minutes after she began announcing the court’s decision. She and four other judges had found Anders Breivik to be sane and therefore able to serve the maximum sentence of 21 yearsin prison. The judge recognized he suffered from a personality disorder, but that did not mean that he was insane in the face of the law. Breivik had admitted he killed 77 mainly young people in a car bombing and shooting spree last year. His guilt was never indoubt.
