Jury's opinion as to whether the person would commit the same offense again, if allowed free on parole later. The death penalty was not being used for some years and then some serial killers were quietly released, as they'd behaved very well while guarded.

First day they set foot outside the prison, they went on killing sprees. So the public once again supported the death penalty. But if they'd spent the effort to keep the killers in custody and still away from the public, if the people thought they could trust the government to keep them safe from the serial killers, the death penalty would stayed on the shelf and not used.

This is the problem we have here, the lack of funding and rehabilitation for those who could return to society and not be a danger to others. And a lot of people taking up jail space who were not a danger to the public, as sentencing is erratic.

I appreciate Norwegians be willing to fund a civilized society. Best wishes to all of you during this time of having to listen to all of this going to trial.
