midst of the Fire: – The only thing we can do now is to wait
This means that it does not come a ruling today. The jury sits in those two days alone in the Borgarting court of appeal and discusses the issue of guilt for the korrupsjons and narkotiltalte ex-officer, Eirik Jensen.
It is associated with the great secrecy of the jury’s discussions, and the five men and five women who now have lack of counsel on the matter, is not allowed to talk with anyone about what is said on the juryrommet.
Eleventh hour for lack of counsel
Yesterday’s rettsbelæring was finished at 13.00, and the jury went home already at 15.03 yesterday afternoon. Today they have mostly been sitting undisturbed and discussed the matter at 09.00 in the morning. The jury had earlier in the afternoon a delivery from the Open Bakery here in Oslo.

It means that the jury today has been more or less continuously for over nine hours. Turn together with the discussion yesterday, the jury therefore used around the just over eleven hours of discussions on the matter. During this time they also had food and luftepauser, at the same time as they are guarded by rettsbetjenter.
– Jensen or Cappelen speaking false
Now, tonight, get the jury i.e. the journey home. Where will get they are not allowed to speak with anyone about the case, but this concealment here is not as large as in, for example, the Orderud case, where the jurors were bussed from Lillestrøm to Kongsvinger at the same time as the police put up false roadblocks to mislead the journalists.
That jury has gone home for the evening, can quickly mean that Jensen’s fate will be decided tomorrow, Friday. Then, the jury will again gather at 09.00 in the morning.

the Actors in the case, it will say the defendant Eirik Jensen and Gjermund Cappelen and their defenders, as well as the prosecution, will get information about when the ruling is read out before the media.
This also has its practical reasons. Gjermund Cappelen zones as known in Ila prison and must thus be transported with politikortesje. Eirik Jensen told the Newspaper after yesterday’s rettsbelæring that he was going home to Alabama along with his partner Ragna Lise Vikre.
We sat locked up without the opportunity to call home
Lagdommer Kristel Heyerdahl has also suggested that the jury may be called in on Saturday if they don’t have the votes finished by Friday afternoon. At least seven of the jury members must answer “yes” on each of the four questions in the spørsmålsskriftet from the judge. The jury can, for example, to find Jensen guilty only in the question three, which relates to gross corruption.
Can put order to the page
the Jury will not provide any justification for whether they answer “yes” or “no” on the skyldsspørsmålet.
