This verdict was reached by TingsrÃtten, which is a bunch of laymen, usually politically appointed.
So this case will be appealed and will go to HovrÃtten where it will be decided by people with an actual judicial training.
During the trial the prosecuting side strangely admitted to this being a political trial, which is illegal in Sweden. I'm a bit confused why this fact didn't get more attention in the media though.
