Retten vil løslate Marius Borg Høiby:
Kronprinsessens sønn skal ikke behandles mildere enn andre. Det er grunn til å tro at han behandles strengere.

De siste to gangene kronprinsesse Mette-Marit har besøkt sønnen sin i Oslo fengsel, har hun vært så dårlig at hun har ligget og sovet på en sofa der. Det var sterkt å høre Marius Borg Høiby fortelle i Oslo tingrett mandag, at han etter hvert søndagsbesøk har vært redd for at han kan ha sett mora si for siste gang.
Derfor ber han om å bli løslatt fra varetektsfengsling, slik at han kan flytte inn på gutterommet hjemme hos kronprinsparet – vegg i vegg med søstera. Der er familien samlet, uten ham. Det er klart det er vondt. Jeg tror mange unner både Høiby og mora hans å tilbringe tid sammen nå.
Nyhetene fra Slottet kom før helga i rask rekkefølge: Kronprinsen forkortet sitt besøk til Japan for å reise hjem til den syke kronprinsessen. Prinsesse Ingrid Alexandra dro fra Australia, rett før eksamsperioden, av samme grunn. Torsdag fulgte begge Mette-Marit til Rikshospitalet. Det så storebroren på TV fra Oslo fengsel og ble redd.
Fredag fikk vi vite at kronprinsessen er satt på venteliste for lungetransplantasjon. Der står bare åtte andre, operasjonen kan med andre ord skje når som helst – hvis kronprinsessen er heldig. Kronprinsparets sølvbryllupsfeiring utsettes på ubestemt tid og reisevirksomheten begrenses. Prinsesse Ingrid Alexandra flytter hjem fra Australia, i første omgang ut neste semester. Lillebroren skal oppholde seg i Europa. Og storebroren ba om løslatelse fra Oslo fengsel, der han sitter varetektsfengslet i påvente av dommen som kommer mandag om ei uke.
Svaret kom raskt , bare to timer etter nyheten om begjæringen hadde påtalemyndigheten avslått ønsket. Politiet ville ikke løslate Høiby og sendte derfor saken videre til tingretten.
Avgjørelsen er mulig å forstå, selv om den er streng. Så seint som i mai avslo retten en tidligere begjæring fra Høiby om å sitte varetektsfengslet hjemme med fotlenke, fordi det er fare for at han vil begå nye lovbrudd – først og fremst ved å kontakte og dermed bryte besøksforbudet mot ekskjæresten vi kaller Frogner-kvinnen.
Jeg har likevel ingen forståelse for at politiet samtidig avslo Høibys ønske om framstilling. Han ba om å bli fulgt, med politivakt, til et møte med mora, familien og spesialistene fra Rikshospitalet. Det framstår urimelig og ubamhjertig å si nei, når vi vet at mora helt faktisk er dødssyk og står foran en operasjon med stor risiko. Selvsagt bør Marius Borg Høiby få dra hjem på besøk til Mette-Marit, med eller uten vakter.

Heldigvis kom Kriminalomsorgen til unnsetning og tilbød seg å løse framstillingen. Selv om Høiby gikk inn i helga uten at retten rakk å ta stilling til begjæringen om løslatelse, visste han lørdag at han skulle få bli med på dette møtet. Søndag fikk han besøk av familien, og mandag fikk han komme hjem til Skaugum for å diskutere alvorlighetsgraden i moras situasjon. Han kom direkte derfra til Oslo tingrett.
Høiby ga uttrykk for hvor godt det var å se kronprinsessen hjemme i sin egen stue, med familien samlet rundt seg. Det er noe helt annet enn å se henne i fengsel, fortalte han. Og ga uttrykk for at det var vondt ikke bare for ham, men for henne og resten av familien, at han ikke er sammen med dem i disse viktige dagene.
Dette går til kjernen av rettens vurdering. Dommeren måtte ta stilling til faren for gjentakelse av straffbare handlinger, men også av forholdsmessigheten i varetektsfengsling opp mot hensynet til den sårbare familiesituasjonen. Det er nemlig ikke bare belastningen for den fengslede som er viktig, men for tredjepart. Retten skal ikke bare ta hensyn til Høiby, men også til kronprinsessen.
Det er fare for gjentakelse av straffbare handlinger. Men faren for det er redusert, mener retten. Både fordi Høiby nå er rusfri etter fire måneder i varetekt, og fordi han av hensyn til familien vil vegre seg for å begå nye lovbrudd som kan lede til ny fengsling. Retten tror rett og slett på Høibys forklaring om at han vil gjøre alt han kan for å være sammen med mora nå. Dommeren skriver dessuten i kjennelsen at han mener gjentakelsesfare bare er marginalt oppfylt, og særlig for mer alvorlige hendelser enn brudd på besøksforbud.
Derfor vil retten løslate Høiby. Kjennelsen sier at fortsatt varetektsfengsling vil være uforholdsmessig inngripende for Høiby, men også overfor mora hans. Og selv om politiet og kriminalomsorgen er i dialog om flere fremstillinger, er det høyst usikkert hvor mange besøk det vil være mulig å få til. Det handler altså også om belastningen for kronprinsessen. Og det beste for Mette-Marit er åpenbart å få sønnen hjem.
