Too short a sentence; he should receive life imprisonment.
 
I believe that 21 years is life inprisonment in Norway.
But they do have a (new) law that says that a prisoner may be kept in prison if there is a chance that people would try to hurt him if he was set free. So, in effect he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

There is no defined life imprisonment in Norway, 21 years is the maximum sentence he could have been given.

There are two situations here;

"The maximum determinate penalty is 21 years imprisonment, but only a small percentage of prisoners serve more than 14 years."

"The indeterminate penalty, called "containment" (Norwegian: forvaring), is set at 21 years imprisonment, and the prisoner is required to serve at least 10 years before becoming eligible for parole. If the prisoner is still considered dangerous after serving the original sentence, the prisoner can receive up to five years additional containment."
The additional five years could continue indefinitely.

The issue for me is the sane part, it's what he wanted and he's now in jail satisfied.
 
21 years is maximum he could get. However, the prison sentence can be extended indefinitely if it is proved he'll pose danger to public, or will be in danger himself.
Personally, I hope he rots in prison. Shame he's secluded while there: other inmates would have made certain he has a pleasant time there.

This was the best verdict that the court could come to, under today's penal system. Yes, he might be satisfied with being found sane, but so is the majority of Norwegians and the families of the victims. Surely, their satisfaction with this verdict is far more important than his. It was important to us that he could be held responsible for his actions and be punished for them, not to be excused by mental illness and freed from all responsibility with an insanity verdict. His life in psychiatric ward would also have been a lot more lenient than his life in prison. 21 years imprisonment is just a formality, he will spend many decades in jail, most likely for the rest of his life.

:previous: some information about the church service:
The theme for the service is "Peace Thoughts, hope and a future". Bishop Ole Christian Kvarme will keep the sermon and officiant will be dean Anne-May Grasaas.
There will be an opportunity for those present to light candles.


The service will be broadcasted live on NRK 1. For the benefit of those who want it,the church's northern ship becomes a camera free zone.

At every royal event this year, the role of the King in the aftermath of the Utoya attacks have been emphasized as the defining moment of his reign, and where people elevated the King up to the heights his father once inhabited.
The uniting power of the monarchy is unparalleled, in both great sadness and immense joy.
