They also won't be calling him 'insane' if they can get away with itThe law changes when you do that, and people here want justice. A peculiarly open, Norwegian form of justice, but justice nonetheless. An insanity charge would leave everyone feeling very robbed. His lawyer's entering it because there's nothing else he can do.
I actually feel sorry for the lawyer. He's got nothing to do with any of it, and is bewildered at why Breivik specifically chose him, and he's actually of the Labour party in the first place. And suddenly, because justice demands that everyone has the right to be defended, he's got to defend someone I'd guess he'd love to convict -- and at the same time face criticism and abuse from people asking why he's doing it.

Yes I thought this - feel very sorry for the lawyer (who also looks like he's perhaps the coolest man on the planet bar me).That he's from the Labour Party is clearly important to Breivik - the whole thing is all a bit Se7en in it's planning.
