“The trial of Josefin Nilsson’s expojkvän had been different today”

“the Judiciary took the Josefin Nilsson’s story seriously.”

“But today had been different and better.”

“If the prosecutors 20 years ago, had been the strength of everything that is claimed in the tv documentary ”Josefin Nilsson – love me for who I am” had the former boyfriend have been sentenced to a considerable term of imprisonment.”

“instead, put a legal end with probation and a fine in the Svea court of appeal.the nEtt outcome as it is both affordable and worse reasons.”

“In the 1990s went Josefin Nilsson, the celebrated singer and actress, to the police and told them about a little over a year of hell. Her ex-boyfriend had repeatedly assaulted her.”

“It started,” she said to the investigator, a christmas holidays and escalated during the following years. He knivskar her in the arm, she got to go to the hospital and stitched. New fights, new visits to hospital.”

“Later, then Josefin Nilsson handed over a letter she had received, writing a detective:”

“”the Letter with the above text is postmarked 970429 and addressed to Nilsson, at its address with the different first name ’JOSEFUL’ Nilsson”.”

“Even the man interrogated. He denied everything and accused her of assault. She served with the suspicion, but the investigation was shut down.”

“the Investigation was on about fifty pages. Evidence was collected. Telefonsvararband with intimidation. Letters. Medical certificate on the injuries.”

“But something is missing. People who could tell you about the violent relationship. Why were not friends? The siblings, as Nilsson had such close contact with?”

“Maybe there were good reasons why they are not included in the investigation. But I am convinced that more had been done in the day.”

“Almost a year after the report to the police, were prosecuted for three counts of assault, vandalism, violation of a restraining order, and unlawful threat.”

“Nowadays there are a straffbestämmelse called kvinnofridskränkning, which refers to repeated violations. Acts which are less serious can together constitute a felony.”

“But it is also a crime, which generally requires that the offender and victim live together or have lived together, as Nilsson and her boyfriend did not. The provision had, in other words, hardly been possible to apply if it existed in the 1990s. “

“Possibly it had, however, gone to judge for fridskränkning, which has the same sentencing guidelines.”

“the district court sentenced the man to three months in prison for all the crimes he was charged with. The court of appeal finds the confidence to Nilsson’s story, however, acquitted him of two of the three cases of ill-treatment.”

“It is in itself not outrageous. Evaluation is not an exact science and the courts must be able to come to different conclusions. Otherwise there is no point to even have a trial.”

“But the outcome was likely to have been another in the day. Of the two reasons.”

“the Prosecution of a stranglehold dismissed because Nilsson during the trial in the court of appeals is not to say that the grip hurt. She had, however, told in the district court.”

“Why did she not do it in the second trial? The answer may be found in the documentary. Her sister tells us where she does not really have the strength to continue.”

“If the trial were held today had not this problem arisen. Nowadays, the emphasis in the district court. The interrogation which are recorded and played back in the next instance.”

“The other reason is that I believe that the end has become different today is one of the less impressive reasoning of the court of appeal.”

“the Man told during the trial how hard he had it. The media coverage had been stressful, he could no longer go to the pub, but to hear the comments and it had been demonstrated outside of his workplace.”

“the Court of appeal thought so, pity about the poor fellow who had had to endure this misery that he was spared imprisonment.”

“I find it hard to see that a court 20 years later to even come on the idea to reason on the way.”

“the Deficiencies is therefore not. Yet it is my feeling that the police and prosecutors took Josefin Nilsson and her story seriously.”
