I think mapuc might have misunderstood it.
Both in Sweden and in Finland, it does matter how publicized a case and the perps are. For example, 6-7 months ago, woman was sexually assaulted in Finland. She was taken hold of by two, while one was putting his finger in her you-know-what. The case was highly publicized and eventually, because of that their sentences were lowered.
****ing awesome justice system is it not?
Hell, in Finland, "life sentence" is about 14-15 years, in some cases it has been longer but usually that's the "life sentence" you get in Finland.
It's a joke.
