Shows bevisenes weakness – but also the weak point in Jensen's explanation

Eirik Jensen's defenders has spent the time since Wednesday morning to pound away at the prosecution's presentation of evidence to create reasonable doubt. Convinces the more than three jurors, ekspolitimannen be acquitted of the week.

the Strategy is good, but it also reveals the most ulne parts of Jensen's explanation.

The forbidden word Comment

Sidsel Katralen took over for John Christian the Fire Wednesday afternoon. She further clarified the human side of the case and appealed directly to the jury. She turned to Eric Jensen's statement that is put forward behind closed doors, and asked lagretten think of the human demand the arrest was for him. It may have influenced his first explanation in the interrogation.

– It is also a fact that depression gives people a poorer memory. (...) It takes a long time to get back on their feet. As humans we can see it, " says Katralen.

It is not difficult to understand that the situation is extremely demanding for ekspolitimannen. He was one of the country's most publicly recognized politibetjenter over a number of years, the contrast to the history's most severe korrupsjonsanklage is of enormous dimensions. The extensive investigation and the long trials must be a great strain, both physically and mentally. And it's also no wonder that it can be difficult to remember what the text messages written in code back ten years in time means.

As Katralen showed with his thorough review of the timelines: It is possible to conceive of alternative explanations for blomsterspråket in each message. She went through the most central messages against different records, and came up with other interpretations than Spesialenheten adds to the reason. She turned directly to the jury:

– Can you exclude this?

Believe the jury that there is reasonable doubt about the evidence, to Jensen, as is well known frikjennes. But Katralens interpretations also illustrated clearly the weakest points in Jensen's explanation.

A compelling story Comment

the Text message "Hello. of the 100 participants met only 90 ..." was sent from Jensen to Cappelen seven times in the course of 9. December 2009, in different variations. It is one of the three sms are mentioned specifically in the tingrettsdommen as evidence that Jensen has received funding from the Cappelen. Katralen went closely into a single message in his review.

Storsmugleren say that the message means that it was 10 000 of the 100 000 crowns he would have given Jensen. Ekspolitimannen said first that he did not understand what the message was supposed to mean, and so has said that he believes it is code for a politioperasjon the 10. september. Katralen shows that the media have featured a politioperasjon in the county of Vestfold to this day, and believes the text is about it. It got to the court administrator, lagmann Kristel Heyerdahl to cancel:

Is this in line with what Jensen has explained?

Katralen replied that it was in any case her interpretation.

the Legend is rar. Tag is a little obvious. It's funny that Jensen remembered not politiaksjonen when he was asked about it in the interrogation. And when he changes the explanation several times, as if the this message and it flammesikrede discs, weakens the Jensen's credibility.

When Cappelen met Jensen after the police robbed hasjlageret his, and there is no doubt that the police are not alerted to their colleagues. Katralen said Thursday that Jensen then behaved the opposite of what he would do if he was a criminal. It is in no way obvious.

But can it be ruled out? In the next week the jury discuss just that.
