Dramatic end to ‘ten weeks of hell’
June 22, 2012
Tears, applause and a silent protest from those most traumatized by Anders Behring Brevik’s terrorist attacks marked the end of his 10-week trial in Oslo on Friday. Breivik himself was also allowed to make a final statement, in which he marveled that no other right-wing nationalists had carried out attacks like his earlier.

Survivors and families of Breivik’s victims didn’t want to listen to him on Friday afternoon, and let it be known. When Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen said he could start speaking, many of the most affected spectators sitting in the courtroom stood up and walked out, refusing to even look at Breivik on their way out.
“We were just showing the disgust we feel for everything he’s done against us,” said Trond Henry Blattmann, leader of a victims’ support group whose own son was killed in Breivik’s massacre at a Labour Party summer camp on July 22. Blattmann and John Hestnes, leader of the support group for those killed and injured in Breivik’s bombing of Norway’s government headquarters the same day, told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) that it was important for those most affected by the attacks to demonstrate how they feel about Breivik.
“We didn’t have to listen to that man,” Blattmann told NRK, adding that he thinks Breivik has had “more than enough” opportunity to explain his attacks. Blattmann described the trial, which began on April 16, as “10 weeks of hell.”
Five representatives of survivors and victims’ families had been allowed to make statements themselves before Breivik. One of them, the mother of a young woman killed in the bombing, sparked spontaneous applause in the courtroom when she claimed that “this man (Breivik) doesn’t scare me. He’ll be locked up during my time (on earth). Now we’ll have vacation. I wish everyone here could.”
Even Judge Arntzen was seen wiping away a tear, but while many others left the courtroom and claimed they’re now “finished” with Breivik, she needed to stay with the rest of the judicial panel and lawyers in the case and listen to him. It is a defendant’s right in Norway to make a closing statement, he’d asked for an hour and he received it.

He demanded to be acquitted on Friday, saying his attacks were necessary to protect "my people, my culture, my land" from the influence of Islam. PHOTO: NRK screen grab/Views and News
Breivik referred to the events of July 22 as “barbaric” but a necessary part of his battle to halt immigration, especially by Muslims. He started off by stressing that “35 of the 37? medical personnel who have examined him have found no symptoms of psychosis. He claims he’s sane, just terribly frustrated by the lack of public support for whom he calls “ultra-nationalists” and “cultural conservatives.” He thinks “fundamental change” is needed within the leadership of Norway and Europe to prevent the spread of Islam.
He listed a number of complaints against Norway’s Labour Party, accusing it of being rooted in communism, of sending cultural conservatives to psychiatric institutions after World War II and even claiming that both Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and his father, former Foreign Minister Thorvald Stoltenberg, both had code names with the KGB. He also accused Labour of “mass murder” for promoting abortion rights in Norway.
While NRK reported how his defense attorneys leaned back in their chairs and looked down at the table as he spoke, Breivik claimed that “all nationalists who have followed developments” are “amazed” there hadn’t been any attacks like his before July 22. He claimed his “brothers” in the Islamic, multi-cultural “resistance movement” are following his case while they plan new attacks. He also claimed his judges will be judged themselves, while they stared right at him.
He offered a “peace proposal,” that ultra-nationalists be allowed to set up “states within the state” so that cultural Marxists won’t need to fear more attacks and the nationalists would be allowed to avoid living in “a multi-cultural hell.”
The worst thing about his current situation, Breivik noted, isn’t the “demonization” he feels. Rather, he said, “the worst of all is to be ignored.” He didn’t elaborate on what he felt as dozens of people turned their backs on him and left the courtroom on Friday.

======== .. original bold in that one .. conclusion? (just above the link below) .. WHEW! .. finally found it ..
The expected date of the Brevik judges decision has been really hard to find .. lol, good ol' Wikipedia ..
some really dislike it, but warts aside Wiki comes through heaps of times .. before the date, a summary ..
Psychiatric evaluation
Breivik underwent his first examination by court-appointed forensic psychiatrists in the autumn of 2011. The psychiatrists diagnosed him with paranoid schizophrenia, concluding that he had developed the disorder over time and was psychotic both when he carried out the attacks and during the observation. He was also diagnosed with abuse of non-dependence-producing substances antecedent of 22 July. The psychiatrists consequently found Breivik to be criminally insane.
According to the report, Breivik displayed inappropriate and blunted affect and a severe lack of empathy. He spoke incoherently in neologisms and had acted compulsively based on a universe of bizarre, grandiose and delusional thoughts. Breivik alluded himself as the future regent of Norway, master of life and death, while calling himself "inordinately loving" and "Europe's most perfect knight since WWII". He was convinced that he was a warrior in a "low intensity civil war" and had been chosen to save his people. To the psychiatrists, Breivik described plans to carry out further "executions of categories A, B and C traitors" by the thousands, themselves included, and to organise Norwegians in reservations for the purpose of selective breeding. Breivik believed himself to be the "knight Justiciar grand master" of a Templar organisation. He was deemed to be suicidal and homicidal by the psychiatrists.
According to his defence attorney, Breivik initially expressed surprise and felt insulted by
the conclusions in the report. He later stated that "this provides new opportunities".[clarification needed]
The outcome of Breivik's first competency evaluation was fiercely debated in Norway by mental health experts, over the court-appointed psychiatrists' opinion and the country's definition of criminal insanity. An extended panel of experts from the Norwegian Board of Forensic Medicine reviewed the submitted report and approved it "with no significant remarks". News in the meantime emerged that the psychiatric medical staff in charge of treating prisoners at Ila Detention and Security Prison did not make any observations that suggested he suffered from either psychosis, depression or was suicidal. According to senior psychiatrist Randi Rosenqvist, who was commissioned by the prison to examine Breivik, he rather appeared to have personality disorders. Counsels representing families and victims filed requests that the court order a second opinion, while the prosecuting authority and Breivik's lawyer initially did not want new experts to be appointed. On 13 January 2012, after much public pressure, the Oslo District Court ordered a second expert panel to evaluate Breivik's mental state. He initially refused to cooperate with new psychiatrists. He later changed his mind and in late February a new period of psychiatric observation, this time using different methods than the first period, was begun.
If the original diagnosis is upheld by the court it means that Anders Behring Breivik cannot be sentenced to prison. The prosecution may instead request that he be detained in a psychiatric hospital. Medical advice will then determine whether or not the courts decide to release him at some later point. If considered a perpetual danger to society, Breivik can be kept in confinement for life. Shortly after the second period of psychiatric observation prior to the trial was begun the prosecution stated that they expected that Breivik would be declared legally insane. However, on 10 April 2012 the second psychiatric evaluation was published with the conclusion that Breivik was not psychotic during the attacks and he was not psychotic during their evaluation. Instead, they diagnosed a narcissistic personality disorder. Breivik expressed hope at being declared sane in a letter sent to several Norwegian newspapers shortly before his trial, writing about the prospect of being sent to a psychiatric ward he stated: "I must admit this is the worst thing that could have happened to me as it is the ultimate humiliation. To send a political activist to a mental hospital is more sadistic and evil than to kill him! It is a fate worse than death."
On 8 June 2012, Professor of Psychiatry Ulrik Fredrik Malt testified in court as an expert witness, stating that he finds it unlikely that Breivik is schizophrenic. According to Malt, Breivik suffers from Asperger syndrome, Tourette syndrome, narcissistic personality disorder and possibly paranoid psychosis.
