Breivik, who has admitted to killing 77 people in a bombing and youth camp massacre, said that no one would have asked for a psychiatric examination had he been a "bearded jihadist."
"But because I am a militant nationalist, I am being subjected to grave racism," he said. "They are trying to delegitimize everything I stand for."
Breivik rejects criminal guilt for the rampage on July 22, saying the victims had betrayed their country by embracing immigration.
Even the defense admits there is virtually no chance of an acquittal, so the key issue to be determined in the trial is whether Breivik is criminally insane.
Two psychiatric examinations reached opposite conclusions on that point. In a statement to the court, the Norwegian Board of Forensic Medicine asked for additional information from two pscyhiatrists who found Breivik sane, saying their report was incomplete.
Breivik himself insists he is sane, and accuses the prosecutors of trying to make him look irrational.
"I know I'm at risk of ending up at an insane asylum, and I'm going to do what I can to avoid that," he told the court. » | Source: AP | Monday, April 23, 2012
