The Sentencing

Chapter 3

…despite his claim to hold a law degree, Herbert truly believed himself to be in the right to commit all the crimes he had been committing for years – break into women’s homes, or as he called it, look around; steal from these homes, and surveil every part of a woman’s life and home, or as he called it, collect evidence; spread outrageous lies and libel, or as he called it, tell the truth; and kill, or as he called it, protect Denmark against the Unwanted.
