Anders Behring Breivik 'not accountable for attacks'Psychiatrists have found that Anders Behring Breivik was insane at the time of his attacks on downtown Oslo and Utoya Island.
The finding by the two forensic psychiatrists will help determine whether Breivik is sentenced to prison or psychiatric care. Prosecutor Svein Holden says the report shows Breivik was "psychotic" during the attack.
If that assessment is upheld by the court then Breivik cannot be sentenced to prison for the attacks.
"The conclusion is ... is that he is insane," Holden told a news conference. "He lives in his own delusional universe and his thoughts and acts are governed by this universe."
The two psychiatrists, Synne Serheim and Torgeir Husby, delivered their finding to the Oslo district court on Tuesday morning.
"We have no doubt when it comes to our conclusions," Husby told reporters as he submitted the report.

Wow, this is some crazy justice. I would hope that for the safety of their citizens at least this man will be locked up in a psychiatric facility for the rest of his life. He can't be allowed in public, not after what happened. Imagine being a relative or spouse of one of the victims a second time around. I don't get it.
