I was thinking about this comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3186430 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3186430 I don't think the Swedish legal system routinely revisit cases like this in this manner. Whatever the reason (pressure from above, desire to prosecute a high-profile case…), this sounds unusual, (meaning, not representative of the way things are usually done).
Basically, the case looks ridiculous, and the Swedish legal system as a whole probably isn't.
- eli 15y agoBut wouldn't you agree that the correct venue to make that determination is in Sweden? A UK court shouldn't be deciding the merits of a case based solely on press reports about the prosecution.
- loup-vaillant 15y agoI'm not judging what England should do right now. I'm judging what some Sweden prosecutors did before.
