Prosecutor Adam Rullman has requested an opinion from the Judicial Council. The Judicial Council is an independent body under the National Board of Health and Welfare.
Sven-Erik Alhem, former chief prosecutor and now chairman of Victim Support Sweden, says the prosecutor must relate to all evidence. Lawyer Hanna Lindblom says it may be difficult to convict the women of murder after Anders Eriksson's statement. The opinion will be decisive for the review in the Court of Appeal, says Alhem.
