Default Only a 21 year sentence for a shooting spree?

Anders Behring, who went on a shooting spree in Norway received only a 21 year sentence and in Thailand you get the death penalty for drugs.
Something wrong with the world!

He would want to be looking over his shoulder when he gets out, my guess is his life expectancy will be 21 years and 1 day

I was also surprised by the sentence, if he was in US he would have got Death Row plus a second a-hole in jail

According to the report on the ABC... 21yrs is the MAXIMUM jail term they can dish out. However when time comes for parole, it can be extended.

In Norway, the maximum sentence is 21 years, so that's what he got. Pretty light considering (that's approx 3 months per victim - no real value attached to each life when you look at it that way)

I could go to Norway and kill 1 person and get 21 years, he kills 80+ and gets the same sentence.

But will they ever parole him, or just continually extend his stay.

Does Norway have the death penalty?

It will only be extended if he is considered a danger in 21 years time (actually, I believe he only has to serve 10 years minimum).

true, but considering his killing spree, he may always be considered a potential danger for the rest of his life
he didn't just kill 1 person after having a temporary breakdown - it seems he planned to kill many in cold blood
it would be difficult to see many people willing to let him back in society

Either way he will get whats coming to him. Whether that is by a court judgement or the hand of another, it will happen.

Waste of space.

The difficulty with this issue is that most of you are unaware of the minimum custodial sentence when receiving a "Life Sentence' here in your own jurisdictions, or those of other countries.
Some of you would spray your beer,.... if you knew....

The US?? SOME US 'states' have the death penalty, most don't. I support it in extreme clear cut cases, such as this; - disliking/hating the multicultural agenda and program - and its effects on a nation over time, is no reason to go bumping off Norwegian Labor party supporters. You fight the political fight, not take these militant steps.

The court obviously found him sane, if it had not - he could have been kept indefinately. I'd expect they'll keep extending the sentence as needed.

Correct, i actually watched a doco on BBC about this not long ago.
Apparently he was to appeal if he was declared insane, but because he wasnt there wont be an appeal. He was checked twice first time they said he was, next he wasnt.
Without starting an argument, what would said criminal get in OZ if it happened here?

Hobart Supreme Court Judge William Cox gave Martin Bryant 35 life sentences for the murders plus 1035 years for other crimes, and ordered that he should remain in prison for the "rest of his life."

I seriously doubt Behring will ever taste freedom again.....

I read an article today that said after his 21 years are up a judge will decide on extending his stay by another 5 years, and then another 5 years and so on. So although the original sentence seems light, I don't think he will be getting out after 21 years.

Default Re: Only a 21 year sentence for a shooting spree?

It;s always annoyed me...and a lot of other people...that we don't have minimum mandatory sentences for crimes here. Wishy washy judges say it would "take away their discretion" in sentencing...but seeing as how they let serious criminals walk with little real time in jail, I think they need it to be taken out of their hands and they should be made to face a bit of reality. If they want to show "discretion" then sentence the person to the minimum time the mandatory sentence allows.

I'm sure everyone is also sick of sensationalist headlines saying some violent animal received a "sentence of ten years"...but when you read the fine print, he was sentenced to ten years...to serve at least 5 years...with a non-parole period of 3 years...maybe less with good behaviour.
Why not make the headlines say the actual sentence he received...in a case like that example, "he was sentenced to 5 years jail."

i do agree with you about this, but most of the people that are sick of the sensationalist headlines are getting fooled by the headlines highlighted in this thread. most people see the 21 years and complain, but the fine print says they can keep adding on 5 years at their discretion if they see him as a potential danger

Most of his victims were teenagers , of the 69 people killed on Utoeya island, of them 34 aged between 14 and 17... hardly "labour party supporters".
The island was a holiday camp owned by the Labour Party.
