Skretting says that all lawyers she has spoken to, in addition to her own colleagues, respond to the extensive time spent on the Ingebrigtsen case in court.

Has analyzed 46 Judges news has gone through all the judgments from the South Rogaland District Court since 2019 where the indictment was abuse in close relationships, following the Penal Code section 282. The material comprises a total of 46 judgments.

Photo: NTB This is the same statutory clause that the criminal case against Gjert Ingebrigtsen is about. He is charged with physical and mental abuse against his son Jakob Ingebrigtsen and her daughter, but denies criminal charges. We have first taken on the 37 cases that ended with imprisonment for up to two years, or acquittal. So many days it has been used for these cases in court: 1 court day: 3 cases 2 court days: 14 cases 3 court days: 11 Cases 4 Corrections: 5 Cases 5 Courts: 2 cases 6 Correction days: 1 Case 7 Case days: 1 case More than 7 court days: No cases both median and average are around three court days. When the Ingebrigtsen case concludes with the latest procedures from Tuesday, it has been for 24 court days. A total of 49 people have explained. Otherwise, any appeal case in the Ingebrigtsen case has already been voted in advance in the Gulating Court of Appeal from January 6 to February 20, 2026. Thus, seven weeks have also been set aside in the next court. Gjert Ingebrigtsen is charged with abuse in close relationships. He has always denied criminal charges. Illustration: Hege Vatnaland \/ news &#8211; as we see it, there is no reason why this case should be dealt with differently than other cases of a similar nature. We have stumbled upon the police&#8217;s use of resources both during the investigation and in court. The case is characterized by discrimination as we see it, says lawyer Heidi Reisvang, who defends Gjert Ingebrigtsen. -What comment do you have for news&#8217;s \u200b\u200boverview of time spent in the other 282 cases in court showing an average of three court days? &#8211; Of course, cases can vary in scope and severity, but we are not surprised by this. It is in line with our experience that this is normal, says Reisvang. We made these findings in the 282 judgments: A clear majority of the judgments we have read is about violent men who have abused the spouse or cohabitant for time periods from a few months to several years. Jealousy and control needs are a rush, while alcohol and substance abuse is another typical factor in the perpetrator. The cases are characterized by the offenders who have difficulty breaking out of conditions. In some cases, the cohabitation between the defendants and the offender was still going on while the case came to court. Several cases also apply to parents who practice physical and mental violence against the children as part of the upbringing. Often these are families coming from countries where there are other principles that apply. In some cases, the defendant has been acquitted of 282, but convicted of bodily violations that have a lower penalty. This may be because the court does not find it proven that there has been a cohabitation at a common address, but more a girlfriend relationship. It can also be about individual cases of violence where one does not find it proven that the offender lived in a violence and fear regime which is a requirement to judge by 282. What is the usual level of penalty in 282 cases? In the cases that did not end with acquittal, a typical prison sentence was in the judgments we analyzed plus\/minus one year. In two of three cases, the prison sentence laid between 8 months and a year and a half. When it comes to the nine most serious cases in the material news has reviewed &#8211; those who ended up with more than two years in prison &#8211; in seven of these, marginally spent more time in court than in the other cases: from three to five days. In the two most extreme cases that ended in prison sentences of more than four and six years, the number of days in court was 8 and 15 respectively.

Photo: Ksenia Novikova \/ news-Large Family Gallery Angjerd Kvernenes, one of the prosecutors in the Ingebrigtsen case, points out that it is about two prosecution decisions over time periods of four and ten years with two offenders, a sibling group of seven, and a number of sister-in-law. &#8211; The case includes a large family gallery that has been close to both the defendants and the offended, and then it is natural for all their explanations to be heard by the court. In addition, we will lead witnesses to both the favor and the disadvantage of the defendant, and then the time goes by, says Kvernenes. Attorney General Angjerd Kvernenes believes that the prosecution would not be able to cut his testimony in court. Photo: Ole Andreas B\u00f8 \/ news &#8211; Have all the witnesses been necessary? &#8211; As the case has been set up for the first instance, I do not see what we could have cut down on from our side. And then both the defenders and the assistant attorneys have had their witnesses as well. &#8211; What comment do you have that such cases usually only take a few days in court? &#8211; I do not know the scope of all the other cases. Each case is unique, and the evidence situation is different from case to case. I don&#8217;t really have any more comments on that, says Kvernenes. She points out that the court under the law can refuse evidence if it is not necessary to make a decision, or if the importance of the evidence is not in a reasonable relationship with the time spent. &#8211; In this case, the court has not taken advantage of its opportunity here. It is the information of the case that is decisive in the event, says Kvernenes. &#8211; Legal security also the police and the court have answered questions about the time spent on this case. Police Inspector Terese Braut V\u00e5ge refers to the State Attorney. &#8211; It is the state attorney who determines the time aspect of a case in court. In this case, there are many witnesses, and it is thus set aside the time it has been done. Magistrate Mariann Svensen has responded on behalf of the South Rogaland District Court. She points out that both the prosecutor, defender and the assistant attorney submit evidence. &#8211; It is not the court that controls the number of witnesses or other evidence, she says. &#8211; This is about legal certainty. Every case must be carried out properly, and enough time should be set aside for the parties to present the evidence they believe is necessary and properly. This also applies to the evidence the defendant wants to lead to his defense. It is not possible to operate with a norm number, and the cases are different. Mariann Svensen is a magistrate in South Rogaland District Court. Photo: Cecilie Berntsen J\u00e5sund \/ news Svensen says that planning meetings are held between the judges, the prosecutor, the defenders and sometimes aid lawyers. You go through all questions that are important for the main hearing, what time it is reasonable to set aside for the guidance of evidence, and create a schedule. Svensen believes all the parties in the Ingebrigtsen case agreed on the schedule. &#8211; As a court leader, I have full confidence that the two very experienced judges in the case have done a thorough planning in advance of the case implementation, also in relation to the necessary time provision, she says. Attorneys are amazed We have talked to several lawyers who have been defenders and assistance attorneys in 282 cases in South Rogaland District Court. Everyone says they are amazed at the long time spent in the Ingebrigtsen case. &#8211; It is quite unusual with so many witnesses. I have had many cases with several offenders and where the charges often extend up to ten years, but where we have only been in court for a few days, says Stavanger lawyer Knut Lerum. Section 282 of the Criminal Code \u00a7 282. Mus in close relationships: With imprisonment for up to 6 years, it is punishable by threats, coercion, deprivation of liberty, violence or other offenses, serious or repeated abuses a. His current or former spouse or cohabitant, b e. Someone in their care. When someone feels guilty of a criminal offense pursuant to section 282, first paragraph, letter b, the court shall consider whether contact bans under section 57 should be sentenced. Source: Lovdata &#8211; Do you wish it was set aside for several legal days in such cases? &#8211; No, I usually think the cases are well informed within the time frames we have available, says Lerum. Attorney Arvid Sj\u00f8din agrees with lawyer Arvid Sj\u00f8din Photo: Mathias Oppedal-I have never experienced that two to three days in court have been too bad in such cases. Then they have been more than well informed with the testimony from those who have been close to those involved, he says. He is supported by lawyer Anne Kroken. &#8211; I have the sense that a case gets thorough treatment in court, but I think all the lawyers I have talked to wonder why this case should last as long as it does. Nobody has a good answer to that, says Kroken. Attorney Arnhild Skretting believes the long time spent in the Ingebrigtsen trial reflects how much time the police have spent on the investigation. &#8211; This is bad in itself when I see how many serious abuse cases are dropped by the police based on capacity considerations, or that, based on resource deficiencies, they have not been able to investigate well enough to make a charges. She highlights a concrete example, a case she herself should lead in court that is both about abuse in close relationships and sexual abuse: &#8211; There are five offended children in the case and a roughness unparalleled in what is described in the indictment. Here, the state attorney has set aside seven court days, and then the last day is set aside for safety, she says.
