Johansen Trial Underway

Posted by michael on from the wheels-of-justice dept.

Info is trickling in about Jon Johansen's trial In Norway, where he is accused of violating Norwegian law. Aftenposten and VG Nett have stories, and there's at least one amateur account of the trial. The trial is supposed to last a week, and I'm sure Slashdot will keep up with it, so please submit only *new* stories about it, thanks.

    What type of judicial system do they implore: either the English Common Law (presumed guilty) or the German way (guilty, and must prove innocence)?

    Do they have the death penalty?

      I kinda doubt they are going to execute him. I don't even think the MPAA would encourage that.

      Not unless they could get the movie rights for cheap!

      (Yes, I'm joking.)

      As long as its not American:

      "Guilty by reason of pissed corporation."

    The American system is "Guilty by reason of lesser bank account balance"
