Rambling killer Breivik asks to be cleared

The trial of Anders Breivik has ended with the mass killer demanding to be set free and vowing that history would exonerate him for a bomb-and-gun rampage that killed 77 people.

The self-styled anti-Muslim militant got the final word in the 10-week proceedings, but it is unclear whether it helped the main point of his defence: Trying to prove that he is sane.

In a rambling statement, Breivik lashed out at everything he found wrong with the world, from non-ethnic Norwegians representing the country in the Eurovision to the sexually liberated lifestyle of the characters in the television show Sex and the City.
