Anders Behring Breivik to avoid prison

Anders Behring Breivik was reported to belong in psychiatric care instead of prison after a mental evaluation claimed him legally insane during a bomb-and-shooting rampage which killed 77 people.

The report, written by two psychiatrists who spent 36 hours talking to Breivik, will be reviewed by an expert panel before the Oslo district court rules on his mental state.

Their conclusions surprised many outside experts and contrasted with earlier comments by the head of the review panel, who told The Associated Press in July that it was unlikely that Breivik would be declared insane because the attacks were so carefully planned and executed.
