The 20-year-old's defense attorney Karl Hamstedt wants to see an acquittal or a lighter sentence and, as before, refers to the fact that the fatal shooting occurred in an emergency situation. Southeastern reports.

The man convicted of murder was allegedly attacked by Herman Nilica and another unknown person and, among other things, received stabbings with a machete.

Wants to see tougher penalties

Prosecutor Lena-Marie Bergström is also appealing the district court's ruling. She pleaded for a total of 17 years in prison for murder as well as the gun threat and forced shaving he also allegedly subjected a female acquaintance to.

"The defense has appealed and if the case is still to be tried, I want the Court of Appeal to examine the penalty value and get the whole playing field to assess," she says.
