What comment could the royal family have made on a non-judicial verdict?

The article discusses public reactions to a court ruling against Marius Borg Høiby, noting that neither the prosecution nor defense had complete success in their arguments. The ruling was detailed in a 120-page document requiring multiple legal experts to explain. Since there is a 14-day appeal period, the ruling is not yet final. Following the announcement of the sentence, numerous requests were made to the Royal Court for comments on potential appeals, sentencing wishes regarding Høiby, and any stance towards the press. By around 11 AM, NTB reported that the royal family had no comment onthe

Aktorene Sturla Henriksbø og Andreas Kruszewski mener at riktig straff er syv år og syv måneder for Marius Borg Høiby.

Høiby er tiltalt for 40 lovbrudd .

Det mener forsvarerne Ellen Holager Andenæs og Petar Sekulic er for strengt.

De mener at en riktig straff er på ett år og seks måneder .

Forsvarerne Sekulic og Andenæs på vei inn i tingretten mandag.

Dommen kommer i dag klokka 08.30. Dommer Jon Sverdrup Efjestad vil lese opp slutningen – hva straffen blir – aller først.

Videre skal et sammendrag av dommen leses opp, dette vil tar omtrent 1,5 time.

– Vi håper på det beste naturligvis, så får vi bare se, sier Sekulic på vei inn i retten.

Forsvareren understreker at Høiby er god forberedt, men han vil ikke si noe om en eventuell anke av saken.

– Det tar vi stilling til senere.

Heidi Reisvang er bistandsadvokat for tre av de fornærmede kvinnene.

– Mine klienter er spente på dommen som kommer, i likhet med alle andre, sier Reisvang.

– Det har vært en svært krevende prosess for dem, legger hun til.

Petar Sekulic, forsvarer for Høiby, sier klienten er forberedt på at han vil måtte sone en fengselsstraff.

Jon Anders Hasle, som er advokat og sitter i styret til forsvarergruppen i Advokatforeningen, omtaler mandag morgen dette som en vanskelig sak.

– Særlig vanskelig er det når det er så mye informasjon, sier Hasle, og peker blant annet på den omfattende pressedekningen, men også at det i saker som denne er ord mot ord.

Bistandsadvokat Hege Salomon var også på plass i tingretten:

Avslag på fotlenke og løslatelse

I påvente av dommen har Høiby sittet i varetekt.

Selv har han hevdet at varetektsfengslingen har vært preget av « ekstremt lite menneskelig kontakt », og ønsket å fortsette varetektsfengslingen med fotlenke på Skaugum.

Det avslo Oslo tingrett og senere Borgarting lagmannsrett . Saken ble anket til Høyesterett, som forkastet anken.

Høiby fikk ikke innvilget varetekt med fotlenke på Skaugum, og ble ikke løslatt i forkant av domsavsigelsen.

Da det i starten av mai ble kjent at Høibys mor, kronprinsesse Mette-Marit, sin lungesykdom har blitt livstruende , ba forsvarerne om løslatelse.

Politiet ville fortsette å holde 29-åringen i varetekt, mens Oslo tingrett ville løslate ham.

Aktor anket tingrettens avgjørelse til lagmannsretten, som konkluderte med å ikke løslate ham . Saken ble ikke anket, og Høiby måtte fortsette varetektsperioden.
