OSLO, Norway, Dec 3 (LSN)—The city court of Oslo decided not to punish Dr. Christian Sandsdalen, 80, even though he was found guilty of “willful murder.” The decision not to penalize Sandsdalen was said to be due to “extenuating circumstances”, in this case “mercy.” The woman he killed was critically ill and allegedly wanted to die.
Sandsdalen has appealed the verdict since he felt he should not have been found “guilty” at all. A proposal to accept assisted suicide has been proposed by three of Norway’s most respected lawyers.
