A Norwegian court has ruled that mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has not changed in the decade since he was first incarcerated for the worst peacetime atrocity in Norway’s modern history, denying his parole bid.
“The accused appeared to be devoid of empathy and compassion for the victims of the terror,” the verdict delivered by The Telemark District Court on Tuesday reads.
It also notes that while Breivik “expressed grief” for those affected by his killings in 2011, “he defended and possibly legitimized his actions by saying that most of those affected in Utoya were not children, but people in “leadership positions.”
