Looking for info on Norwegian court procedures Posted Jan 22, 2003 15:59 UTC (Wed) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054) [Link] In the U.S. (the only place whose laws I'm familiar with), a jury decision of innocence is irreversible: appeals are only allowed when the defendant is convicted. It's obviously different in Norway, and I'd appreciate a knowledgeable overview of how it works, and whether there's a point (other than, presumably, a decision of Norway's Supreme Court equivalent, if any) when Mr. Johansen knows a final decision has been rendered. Thanks, Max Hyre
