[td]Some news outlets in the United States{{which|date=November 2022}} have expressed wonder at apparent concessions being given to the defendant. Both the fact that he is allowed five full days to give his testimony, elaborating on his ideology, as well as court-room interactions where both the prosecutors and counsel for the aggrieved shook the defendant's hand at the beginning of the proceedings baffled some commentators but to others showed that the Norwegian court system is capable of respecting all people.<ref>{{Cite news |title= Sociologist: Norway killer Breivik's court rant will deter extremism |author1= Jamieson, Alastair|author2= [[Associated Press]] (contributing) |url= http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_new...breiviks-court-rant-will-deter-extremism?lite |publisher= [[MSNBC]] |date= 18 April 2012|accessdate= 3 May 2012 |url-status= dead |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/2012050...breiviks-court-rant-will-deter-extremism?lite |archivedate= 2 May 2012 |df= dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=As killer gloats in court, Norway shows no anger |url=https://newsok.com/article/feed/373569/as-killer-gloats-in-court-norway-shows-no-anger |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=22 April 2012|accessdate=21 August 2018 }}</ref>[/td]
[td]In contrast to practice in many countries, the defendant was allowed many apparent concessions. Both the fact that he is allowed five full days to give his testimony, elaborating on his ideology, as well as court-room interactions where both the prosecutors and counsel for the aggrieved shook the defendant's hand at the beginning of the proceedings baffled some commentators but to others showed that the Norwegian court system is capable of respecting all people.<ref>{{Cite news |title= Sociologist: Norway killer Breivik's court rant will deter extremism |author1= Jamieson, Alastair|author2= [[Associated Press]] (contributing) |url= http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_new...breiviks-court-rant-will-deter-extremism?lite |publisher= [[MSNBC]] |date= 18 April 2012|accessdate= 3 May 2012 |url-status= dead |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/2012050...breiviks-court-rant-will-deter-extremism?lite |archivedate= 2 May 2012 |df= dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=As killer gloats in court, Norway shows no anger |url=https://newsok.com/article/feed/373569/as-killer-gloats-in-court-norway-shows-no-anger |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=22 April 2012|accessdate=21 August 2018 }}</ref>[/td]

[td]Research has shown{{weasel words inline|date=November 2022}} that in Norway the proceedings of the trial had a positive impact on the coping mechanisms in society.
