The Attorney General requests that Viggo Kristiansen be acquitted in the Baneheia case. news’s experts answer your questions about the decision. Kristiansen was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder and sexual assault of Stine Sofie Sørstrønen (8) and Lena Sløgedal Paulsen (10). Question: What will happen to Jan Helge Andersen? Will there be a new trial? Will Viggo have to go through a trial to get the compensation he is entitled to? “Andersen was acquitted of complicity in the one murder. This means that the prosecuting authority must, in the event, demand that the acquittal be reopened before they possibly issue a new indictment. That question will be decided later. Viggo Kristiansen’s claim for compensation is decided by the Norwegian Civil Rights Administration. The decision they reach can be reviewed by the court if Kristiansen disagrees with the amount.” Hi!
