How the hell was this ogre only convicted of manslaughter and allowed out of prison in only 6 years? He chopped up that poor woman along with their dog and scattered the remains around their property, utter psychopath behavior. That sort of shit will earn you 20 years to life in the US and the death penalty in some states.

In Nordic countries, sentences for murder or rape can be extremely lenient. 6 years for murder is a joke of a sentence and an insult to the victim and their families.

Many countries think human monsters deserve everything over their victims, particularly women. See Alieen Wuronos who was put to death versus Charles Manson who died of old age in prison.

Manson never actually killed anyone, nor was he present at any of the murders.

In fact, he never directly ordered any of the particular murders.

He did however preach about the need to commit murder to get the wheels rolling on ‘helter skelter’. The prosecution had to prove it was his dangerous ideology and skill at brainwashing that caused the members to commit murder.

It was fairly challenging to get the conviction. Of course I’m glad they did but if he had had a better lawyer he likely could have gotten off.
