Marius Borg Høiby was sentenced to four years in prison on Monday for two counts of rape and domestic violence — and within five hours he had announced he was appealing. What does the appeal mean for the victims, for the case timeline, and for a Norwegian monarchy already managing a Crown Princess on a lung transplant waiting list? We also cover the story Norwegian media is calling the real scandal inside the verdict: why Aftenposten says Høiby was lucky, how a Supreme Court ruling on sentencing guidelines changed at exactly the right moment for him, why only one of the six women came to court on verdict day, what the Swiss and German press made of Norwegian prison conditions, and how five media organisations ended up facing fines for breaking court rules during the most covered trial in Norwegian history.
