Anders Behring Breivik’s name has been plastered across the international media lately – and he’s loving it. Breivik, 33, is currently undergoing trial in Oslo, Norway, for 77 murders that occurred last July.
But unlike most American criminals, Breivik does not deny that he was responsible for the deaths. Rather, Breivik is pleading not guilty because of self-defense; that the murders he committed were in the name of national security and necessary to prevent gross harm to himself and his country.
