"F you, Marius”: explosive texts dominate Høiby trial as closing arguments loom
The trial of Marius Borg Høiby moved closer to its final phase as Oslo District Court continued reviewing one of the largest pieces of evidence in the case — more than 800 pages of private messages between Høiby and influencer Nora Haukland.
Some of the exchanges showed affection and support, including messages where Høiby encouraged Haukland after she was eliminated from the reality series Kompani Lauritzen. But others revealed escalating jealousy and arguments about social media, television appearances and their future together. At one point the conflict turned openly hostile, with both sides exchanging blunt insults.
Earlier in the day, a psychologist testified about the emotional cycles often seen in turbulent relationships, explaining how conflict and reconciliation can repeat over time. Police investigators also described digital forensic work examining phones and other devices as part of the case.
With weeks of testimony now complete, the trial is approaching its final stage. Prosecutors, lawyers representing the alleged victims and the defense are expected to begin presenting closing arguments next week.

00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:11.480
A calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Crown and
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.239
Controversy Norway. I'm your Palace Intrigue host Mark Francis. Thursday
3
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.920
marked another significant day in the trial of Marius Borg Hoibi,
4
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.879
as the court heard additional expert testimony. Police investigators described
5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.359
aspects of the digital evidence and the reading of hundreds
6
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:34.000
of private text messages between Hoibe and influencer Norah Hauckland continued.
7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.240
The proceedings come as the trial approaches its final phase,
8
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.640
with closing arguments expected to begin next week. The morning
9
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.960
began with testimony from a psychologist called to provide context
10
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.039
about the emotional dynamics often seen in turbulent relationships. The
11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.479
expert explained to the court that victims in relationships involving
12
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:58.439
violence or control do not always break contact immediately. Instead,
13
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.320
it is common for the relationship to move through cycles
14
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:06.480
of conflict, reconciliation, and emotional attachment. Although the psychologists did
15
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.040
not testify it directly about the individuals involved in the case,
16
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.879
the explanation was presented to help the court understand patterns
17
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.120
that can appear in relationships where abuse is alleged. Those
18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.959
dynamics have been a central theme throughout the trial, particularly
19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.480
in testimony about the relationships between Hoibi and several of
20
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.719
the women involved in the case. Later in the morning,
21
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.840
Hoibi himself addressed the court again while responding to questions
22
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.840
about his behavior and the relationships that have been discussed
23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.560
during the proceedings. Throughout the trial, Hoeby has denied the
24
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.000
most serious accusations against him, including the rape charges connected
25
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.400
to several of the incidents described earlier in the hearings.
26
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.680
He has acknowledged jealousy and emotional conflict in his relationships,
27
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.640
but has repeatedly insisted that the events described by prosecutors
28
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.959
have been misinterpreted. As the questioning continued, the court returned
29
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.400
to one of the most extensive pieces of everdents in
30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.040
the case, the private message exchanges between Hoibi and Nora Hauckland.
31
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.879
Prosecutors have said the messages number more than eight hundred pages.
32
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.120
The conversations have been read aloud in court over several
33
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.599
days in order to give the judge a full picture
34
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.879
of the relationship. Some of the messages presented Thursday reflected
35
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:23.120
moments of encouragement and support. In one exchange, Hauckland informed
36
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.280
Hoebi that she had been eliminated from the television program company.
37
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.840
La ritzen Weiby responded with a message of encouragement. Oh no,
38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.919
my goal, he wrote, I'm still very proud of you.
39
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.240
Other messages read in court revealed a much more tense tone.
40
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.319
Several of the conversations showed arguments about jealousy, social media,
41
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.000
and Helkland's involvement in television projects. At one point, Hoibi
42
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.360
wrote that the pressures surrounding Hawkland's career would destroy their relationship.
43
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.039
I know Company is something you've wanted and something that
44
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.639
is probably good for your career, but we both know
45
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.479
it's going to crush our relationship. Everything will go to
46
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.080
Hell responded by saying that she felt she had already
47
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.280
changed parts of her life to accommodate the relationship. I
48
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.879
have changed myself for you. I behave differently on social media,
49
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.400
I dress differently. She continued by referencing a television opportunity
50
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.319
she had declined. I said no to Farman even though
51
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.919
I really wanted it. But here I have to draw
52
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:20.879
a line. You have to choose whether you want to
53
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.639
be with me or not. The exchanges presented in court
54
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.520
illustrated how the relationship moved repeatedly between affection and confrontation.
55
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.520
In other messages, both parties used insults during arguments, while
56
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.400
at other times they spoke about trying to repair the relationship.
57
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.520
At one point, Waby expressed frustration about his place in
58
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.719
the public spotlight and his connection to Norway's royal family.
59
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.639
In a message read aloud in court, he wrote, I
60
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.879
was married into a public family against my will and
61
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.840
it has been incredibly difficult to stand in the public
62
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.599
eye without having anything to be proud of. Other exchanges
63
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.319
illustrated the arguments that prosecutors say had become common in
64
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.680
the relationship. In one message shown in court, Weby accused
65
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.439
Hawkland of speaking negatively about him on the television series
66
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.000
Goals of Oslo. I heard something different tonight, he wrote,
67
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.960
after she denied criticizing him. As the messages continued to
68
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.439
be read aloud, the tone grew increasingly hostile. In one
69
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.759
argument between the two, Halkland wrote f Hugh Marius few.
70
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.319
Weaby responded bluntly well fu too. Later exchanges showed the
71
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.600
conflict escalating even further. In one message read in court,
72
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.560
Weyby wrote, if you ever walked past me on the street,
73
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.399
L effings spit on you in that disgusting face of yours.
74
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.800
Other messages showed attempts at reconciliation or lingering emotion after
75
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.319
the relationship had begun to deteriorate. In one late night
76
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.639
exchange read alout Thursday, Weyby wrote, do you know that
77
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.199
the fact that you can't even be bothered to answer
78
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.040
says everything? Thanks for everything we had taken together. The
79
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.000
messages reveal a relationship that moved repeatedly between affection and confrontation.
80
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.800
For prosecutors, the conversations illustrate jealousy and emotional pressure inside
81
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.160
the relationship. For the defense, the same exchanges are intend
82
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.720
to show that the conflicts described in court were mutual
83
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.040
and part of a turbulent relationship that involved both parties.
84
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.079
At several points during the reading of the messages earlier
85
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.360
in the week, waybe asked to follow the proceedings from
86
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.000
another room while the conversations were read aloud. More crown
87
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.639
and controversy in just a moment. The afternoon session focused
88
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.360
more heavily on the investigative work carried out by police
89
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.279
and technical specialists. Police officers described how evidence from mobile
90
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.600
phones and other digital devices had been collected and examined
91
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.800
during the investigation. The court also heard from a CRIYPOS
92
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.680
police investigator who explained aspects of the digital forensic work
93
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.879
conducted in the case. Crypos is Norway's national Criminal Investigation
94
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.319
service and often handles complex technical evidence in major criminal cases.
95
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.720
The investigator described how electronic material recovered from devices was
96
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.959
reviewed as part of the effort to reconstruct timelines and
97
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.439
verify the authenticity of messages and media files. Some parts
98
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.800
of the testimony referred to evidence that had already been
99
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.040
introduced earlier in the trial, including digital records and other
100
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.959
material recovered during the investigation. Because certain items of evidence
101
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.000
are subject to reporting restrictions, only limited details from those
102
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.040
portions of the testimony have been made public. As Thursday's
103
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.199
session continued, the reading of the text messages between Hoeibi
104
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.160
and Heukland resumed. Court officials read both sides of the
105
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.560
exchanges allowed so that the full conversations could be entered
106
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.399
into the record. The messages ranged from affectionate comments and
107
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.519
discussions about their personal lives to heated arguments and accusations.
108
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.120
The shifting tone of the messages has become a central
109
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:48.199
issue in the case. For prosecutors, the conversations illustrate jealousy, conflict,
110
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.759
and emotional pressure inside the relationship. For the defense, the
111
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.439
same messages are intended to show that the relationship was
112
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.720
complicated and that the conflicts described in court often involve
113
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.560
both parties. Taken together, whether the day's testimony added additional
114
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.160
context to a trial that already included weeks of witness testimony,
115
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.839
expert analysis, and digital evidence. By the end of Thursday's proceedings,
116
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.879
the court heard from psychologists, investigators, and multiple witnesses over
117
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.879
the course of the week. If the current schedule holds,
118
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.439
the next stage of the trial will involve closing arguments
119
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.720
from prosecutors, lawyers representing the alleged victims, and the defense.
120
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.360
Those arguments will summarize the evidence presented during the weeks
121
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.079
of testimony and outline the legal conclusions each side believes
122
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.839
the court should reach. Portions of this program were assembled
