re: #42 Gus 802

I think if we’re going to figure then I have to figure that someone related to the victims is going to think it’s not a fair exchange. 21 years for something like this is absurd. The police said he was facing 21 years and my previous post reflects the maximum sentence in Norway as being 21 years.

But that’s not what’s going to happen. If a prisoner is determined to be dangerous, their sentence gets reviewed every five years and they’re kept in prison if they’re determined to still be a danger.

I have no idea why people are fixiating on the 21 years part.
