This is stated by Jon Wessel-Aas, former head of the Law Society. That specific parts of a case can go for closed doors is not uncommon, according to Wessel-Aas. &#8211; The unusual thing is that the doors are closed in this way, by the press &#8220;being&#8221; thrown out &#8220;, he says. Tone Ingebrigtsen set a number of requirements to testify, and got the judges on this. Photo: Heiko Junge \/ NTB He refers to the main rule where the press representatives still be seated, but with a report ban for what emerges. &#8211; Then you take care of the considerations that indicate closed doors at the same time as the consideration of the press&#8217;s important control function is not set aside. &#8211; Very regrettable Secretary General Reidun Kjelling Nyb\u00f8 of the Norwegian Editors&#8217; Association believes it is very regrettable that the public cannot access Tone Ingebrigtsen&#8217;s testimony in the criminal case against Gjert Ingebrigtsen. Photo: Hans Trygve Holm &#8211; Media is not there on behalf of himself, but the public. Important parts of this case are not informed to the public, she says. &#8211; Everything happened as soon as Kjelling Nyb\u00f8 adds that she has a great understanding that the case is a burden on Tone Ingebrigtsen. &#8211; I think it is very regrettable that this comes on such short notice. Before the court proceedings, defenders wanted to receive more closed treatment than was the case. Then the media was given the opportunity to comment, but now everything happened so fast that you couldn&#8217;t come up with views, she notes. Sindre Granly Report in the Norwegian Press Association agrees with Kjelling Nyb\u00f8: Sindre Granly Meldalen, Norwegian Press Association Photo: Lars Eivind Bones \/ Dagbladet &#8211; This is very unfortunate. It is the constitutional that there should be open court proceedings. But I understand that the court is put in a difficult situation. The Meldalen adds that he has not read the specific decision of the judges and therefore will not criticize the legal basis. &#8211; Procically, the press is set completely chess mat. There will be urgent treatment and the right is put in a difficult situation, he says. Granly Meldalen does not believe this creates precedent for other cases. Elisabeth Asserson Ingebrigtsen, Filip Ingebrigtsen and Kristoffer Ingebrigtsen met to listen to mother -in -law and mother in court. But they eventually had to leave the hall. Photo: Ole Andreas B\u00f8 \/ news-This is such a special case and special situation, he believes Jon Wessel-Aas believes that access can be given in the recordings from Tone Ingebrigtsen&#8217;s explanation at a later date. &#8211; This can happen if the court itself believes that it should be done, or if an appeal from the press against the district court&#8217;s decision on closed doors should be brought forward, he says. &#8211; Wish public Tone Ingebrigtsen has not given a police statement in the case, which she has had the opportunity to refuse as a spouse of the defendant in a criminal case. She has the same rights when it comes to testimony in court. District Court Judge Espen Skjerven, a member of the judges&#8217; media group, says that it is initially not uncommon for the doors to be closed to some witnesses. &#8211; We want publicity. It is the clear general rule, he says, who pronounces on a general basis. Espen Skjerven. Photo: Kjetil Birkedal Pedersen Skjerven nevertheless points out that there are other considerations. &#8211; It is the prosecuting authority that must bring the evidence to the court, but the court has a responsibility to facilitate important information in the case. He believes this puts the court in a difficult situation where the consideration of publicity, and the need for important information in the case must be balanced. He continues: &#8211; If the judge considers a witness to potentially important, then it is of a greater importance to get the diploma and hear the explanation, than to have open doors not to hear the explanation.
