Gøran Møller Christiansen defends the 26-year-old who, according to the lawyer, has had the charge dismissed on the basis of the evidence. Christiansen is critical of the Sør-East police district changing the charges against the woman in line with her new explanation. – It is so extraordinary that an accused person confesses to a murder for a whole eight months, retracts this and then puts all the blame on someone else,” the lawyer writes to TV2.

Christiansen adds that the police have a duty to be objective and neutral and not be guided by empathy or emotions, and refers to an instruction from the Attorney General. – It may seem as if the desire to judge has been controlling here, says Christiansen. He believes the 42-year-old must take responsibility for the murder of Flood. – She must now be held responsible for slitting the throat of the deceased while she slept in her own bed, and when she desperately tried to escape, she was caught by the 42-year-old who carried out the murder, writes the lawyer to TV2.
