Geir Lippestad: Can not go on Breivik's premises for a court – Aftenposten

Thursday it was announced that on July 22 terrorist Anders Behring Breivik has been Øystein Storrvik as new defender.

Lawyer Geir Lippestad was from 23 July 2011 until the summer of 2012 appointed as expeditiously man defender. After the trial was over and Breivik was sentenced to 21 years in detention for terrorist attacks on 22 July 2011, Geir Lippestads office followed up Breivik prison conditions.

Since autumn 2013 terrorist complained prison conditions in prison and that he sits on insulation . Now they want Breivik to take their own prison conditions to the court.



Lippestad: Large expectation deviation

But the premise Breivik set for such a cause could not Lippestad go on.

– We have followed him up when it comes to his prison conditions, isolation and expression and appealed to the authorities as possible to appeal to the.

– Now he wants to get this case heard in court. It has proved that there is a huge discrepancy in what is his expectations and what we believe is scientifically defensible, says Lippestad.

– What do you mean?

– His expectations for what the trial goes on his prison conditions may concern, is completely different than what we believe is the theme for such a trial. We can not do it on the terms he wants, says Lippestad.



– Can not accept a new assignment

– why we have said that when it is so huge expectation deviations against it we believe are prudent, we can not accept a new assignment for him, says Lippestad.

– What kind of discrepancy are we talking about?

– I can not go into that. It is clear that there is a question about his prison conditions are in accordance with Rule departed, but it is such a trial should be about, and not other issues, says Lippestad.



Storrvik new Defender

– I can confirm that it is carried out a defender swap and that Lippestad is informed, says Øystein Storrvik VG.

– My experience is that convicted persons who sit at long preventive detentions, perhaps the group clients who have most need of legal assistance, says Storrvik on.
