In addition, the court also emphasized that the statements by Kjærsgaard were made in a public television debate at GO 'Morgen Denmark and as part of a more general criticism of the media's coverage of persons convicted of serious crime.
Derudover lagde retten også vægt på, at udtalelserne fra Kjærsgaard var fremsat i en offentlig tv-debat på GO' Morgen Danmark og som et led i en mere generel kritik af mediernes dækning af personer, der er dømt for alvorlig kriminalitet.
