[the Liland case. The medical-legal declarations].
On the basis of new medico-legal experts' opinions the Norwegian High Court decided in the Liland case that the original medico-legal experts had been mistaken. The prosecution wanted the High Court to hear the experts, but this request was rejected. The High Court's decision led to acquittal of Liland who had been convicted 24 years earlier of a double murder. With the support of seven British and two German forensic pathologists it is maintained that the original experts were right. This does not mean that a standpoint has been taken as to who could have committed the crime.
