I’m sorry to hear the writer married an actual psychopath. There’s more of them around than one would imagine.
I’m confused about the lack of charges though - in the UK this seems like it could come under Actual Bodily Harm or even attempted murder. Certainly a crime of that kind has been committed and the intent is there, even if the method wasn’t particularly effective. I realise the system of public law in Nordic countries is quite different to the UK though - there was enough evidence for it to go to court so it shouldn’t be up to the public prosecutor to decide. Putting this to a judge and jury would be sufficient for the jury to join the dots and pass a guilty verdict. Circumstantial evidence isn’t worthless if there’s enough of it.

- gizajob 2y agoThanks for the info. What if the poison was exactly a poison like in this case? I realise “the dose maketh the poison” but it wasn’t exactly strychnine or cyanide.
