Second psychiatric evaluation for Norway's mass murderer, Breivik?
Meanwhile, the populist right-wing and anti-immigration Progress Party, of which Breivik was once a card-holding member, demanded a second psychiatric evaluation.

Business reporter Sverre Rorvik Nilsen, who witnessed the bombing in Oslo, told FRANCE 24 that the “outrage” expressed by the media and the public was only to be expected. But he said he didn’t believe people were looking for revenge. “That would not undo what happened,” the E24 journalist said. “Naturally, will never be a free man ever again. There is no doubt about this.”

Nilsen also said that being committed to a mental institution was no escape from punishment, which carries a potential full-life term in a country where the maximum sentence for a criminal offence is limited to 21 years.

"A life in a mental hospital is not at all an easy way out,” he said. “It’s said to be harder on the mind to be around insane people for the rest of your life.” He added: “The one thing fears the most is to be deemed insane, as he just was.”

1. The Norwegian people have expressed relief more than outrage.
Breivik won't get his court pulpit to promote his views,

I'm not surprised that a Progress Party, which more NSDAP without the SA, does not want him declared insane.
