Legitimate? The case was a disgrace to the Swedish justice system, as many legal experts have commented.

It's not the first time Sweden is used as the stupid Goat by the US:

I think there are far, far too many unknowns and possibilities regarding the murder of Olof Palme to warrant the word "probably" where you use it!

You're absolutely right about Palme, should have wrote "maybe possible but without any proof", but the US and UK did everything they could to stop Sweden, to reduce tensions from and towards the USSR.

There is even a documentary where the Navy's Chief Scienctist John P. Craven (the same guy who was part of Project Azorian and the N1 sub) said they could change the assumed position of Russian submarines, which again (possible but the big smile on his face say's all) led to the stranding of submarine S-363.

A documentary about N1, the part where they could change the position of Russian subs is maybe in this one:

No doubt non-Swedish legal experts with no clue about Swedish laws or the Swedish justice system, meaning their opinions which are based on how the legal system in their own country works, are completely null and void.

How convenient for you to not speak swedish and be able to magically ignore anything that has been written in swedish then! Lucky!

Not really, it was plain political prosecution and the intrinsics of the justice systems are irrelevant in a case of lawfare.

It also shows that Sweden is a country were you cannot always rely on the law to deliver justice.

I'm Swedish and I've read Swedish opinions.

Det har jag också, och inte fan var de eniga om att han skulle vara oskyldig.
