Murder in Denmark is never a life-in-prison sort of scenario. The average served sentence for a "life term" is 16 years and in modern times only one murderer has served much more than 16 years. That guy, Palle Sorensen, murdered four police officers and still got parole after 32 years!
- dpark 9y agoEven for cases like this? Premeditated, sexual assault, possible torture, dismemberment?
- ggg9990 9y agoI mean, the facts I offer are accurate. In modern times not a single person has served life without parole. It could happen, but it would be entirely new, so I couldn't predict either for or against its likelihood.
- dpark 9y agoSorry, I didn't mean to imply you were untruthful. I was instead asking if the same sentencing would apply to a case like this. I assume there's not much precedent for sentencing a case like this in Denmark. Honestly this seems worse than Palle Sorensen, who shot police officers during a chase, and didn't plot their deaths or torture them.
- ggg9990 9y agoIt's certainly the highest profile and perhaps worst case in recent memory but not by a country mile. Jorn Nielsen murdered a rival gangster and was paroled, killed another guy and was paroled again. The country seems intent on protecting its worst at the expense of law abiding citizens.
