    • 2023 March 23, Eric Tagesson, “Dödade maskerade rånare i sin lägenhet – åtalas nu för dråp [Killed masked robbers in their apartment - now charged with manslaughter]”, in Dagens Juridik:
      Min uppfattning är dock att det våld han använt sig av har varit uppenbart oförsvarligt och han ska inte heller gå fri från ansvar på grund av så kallad nödvärnsexcess.
      However, my view is that the violence he used was clearly indefensible and he should not be exempt from responsibility due to so-called excessive self-defence.
