If they are guilty of murder, then they should take the punishment. They were caught on the run after a man was shot to death. They claim they were hunted by guerrillas and escaped an ambush. During their training with the Telemark battalion, they claim using jokes will help them deal with traumatic incidents. They picture where Moland wipe blood from the seat grinning, is said to be a reaction to the ambush.
It is the allegations that the terror-nation Norway sent two spies into Congo to stir up the population I find surreal. I have been following this case and the "evidence" the prosecution presents is at best ridiculous.
I mean, A picture of Moland in a security uniform from a well known mall-security agency is supposed to be evidence that Moland is a sergeant in the Norwegian army. Also, a picture of Moland in the royal guard (from his compulsory service) incriminates the King. That they had military ID's isnt saying much. I still have my military ID from the days I was in the Navy. I guess I need to remember to take it out of my wallet if I ever go to Africa.
There was also a picture of a guy wearing a SAS berret pointing at a map of Africa on one of their cellphones. This guy is now identified as a news photographer and sent it to some of his Norwegian friends in Africa (not Moland or French) with the under text: I know where you are.
The congolese prosecutor claims that the man on that picture is their Secret boss.

I can't wait until morning when the trial continues. I am and at the same time.
The defense counselor will take this to the supreme court if they are found guilty. The Forreign affairs department have people down there, but are not involved in the case.

If the congolese are serious about expanding this case to include the Norwegian State or The Royals, they better call in some representatives. Moland and French - in this case are just small pieces in a larger picture.
