Breivik: Oslo Courtroom Doors

Anders Behring Breivik Dept: When the Oslo courtroom doors opened Monday, his wish was at least partly fulfilled, according to The Star. He is obviously pleased that he will be able to explain himself and that there is an interest in the case, there is no doubt about that, Breivik s defence lawyer Geir Lippestad said after the first day in court and sTOCKHOLM Before his gruesome slaughter, Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik described in a manifesto how he would use the trial against him to gain worldwide attention and spread extreme right-wing ideas. Some 800 journalists followed his trial for the slayings of 77 people, with broadcasters across Europe showing large chunks of the proceedings live. The extensive coverage triggered a debate over whether the media should provide a platform for a man who admits to killing 77 people to promote his intense anti-Islam ideology.
