Update of this thread:
The self-confessed murderer of van Gogh had his first (real) day in court today. The evidence against him is overwhelming. He decided not to mount any defence whatsoever, because he says he doesn't recognize the court.
He has been charged with the murder of van Gogh and the attempted murder of various policemen. He's also been charged with attempting to disrupt the duties of a member of parliament (he planted a death threat to one of them on van Gogh's body).
All of these crimes have a maximum sentence of life in prison, and it's pretty safe to say that he'll that. And that actually *is* life in prison over here; Unless you get a royal pardon (very unlikely to happen), you're never getting out of jail.
The impression I get from the stories I hear, is that he's a really sick, fucked-up animal.
- He didn't want to come to court, but was forced to go by the judge. Today, he appeared to ignore the trial. He doesn't seem to care one bit about the family of his victim, and thinks he's doing it all for Islam. He just sits there as if it's not about him at all, even looking bored at times. At the end of the day, he walked out holding the Qu'ran into the air, to show that he/it has won.
- The prosecutor spoke about some of the evidence they found at his house, which includes cd-roms with movies featuring mutilation, murders, deadly accidents, and even <b>necrophilia</b>. Of course, there's also plenty of the regular Jihad stuff, about killing infidels.
- Although he didn't cooperate with a psychological examination, I'm pretty confident he could be labeled a psychopath. At the very least he's extremely narcissistic.
All in all, it's a chilling insight into the personality of a terrorist. Nothing more than a crazy murderer, apparently. If he had been a native (non-Muslim), he might have turned into a "normal" serial killer.
