Death Penalty: The Death Penalty

Breivik Dept: "There are only two just outcomes to this case: acquittal or the death penalty," the 33-year-old said, calling the prospect of a prison sentence "pathetic." Norway has no death penalty and formal sentencing cannot exceed 21 years, though Breivik could be held the rest of his life if he is judged to pose a continuing danger. He also could be sentenced indefinitely to a mental institution, according to Montreal Gazette. Breivik made the statement after a gruelling day of testimony in which prosecutors challenged his presentation of himself as a crusader defending Europe from immigration on behalf of a group of militant nationalists and norwegian anti-Islamic fanatic Anders Behring Breivik said on Wednesday he should be executed or acquitted after killing 77 people last summer in what he said was a battle to defend Europe against mass immigration. "If you embrace death before you go into action, you will be 10 times as potent," Breivik said. "I have embraced death." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
