Last year Anders Breivik murdered 77 people In Norway. He is now on trial for this crime and even "acknowledged" that he killed these people.
If convicted, he faces 21 years in prison which might be extended to life. Might? Not only does he not face the death penalty, but 21 years could be the sentence imposed for killing 77 people?
How is that justice? Why is a mere 21 years even a possibility for a guy convicted of murdering 77 people?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17724535The man who carried out bomb and gun attacks in Norway last year which left 77 people dead has pleaded not guilty at the start of his trial in Oslo.
Anders Behring Breivik attacked a youth camp organised by the governing Labour party on the island of Utoeya, after setting off a car bomb in the capital.
He told the court he "acknowledged" the acts committed, but said he did not accept criminal responsibility.
The prosecution earlier gave a detailed account of how each person was killed.
If the court decides he is criminally insane, he will be committed to psychiatric care; if he is judged to be mentally stable, he will be jailed.
In the latter case, he faces a sentence of 21 years, which could be extended to keep him behind bars for the rest of his life.
