New Indictment Dropped Mid-Trial! Høiby Admits Restraining Order Breach as Court Widens Case

0:00 A Callaroga Shark Media. Now hello and welcome to Crown and Controversy Norway. I'm your Palace intry host Mark Francis. When court opened on Tuesday, Prosecutor Stirler Henrixbow informed Oslo District Court that a new additional indictment had been issued against Marius borg Hoibi. The new charges concerned reckless conduct and breach of a restraining order involving the so called Frogner Woman. The alleged incident took place in his apartment in the early hours of February first, just days before this trial began. According to the indictment, during the night on Sunday, February first, at four forty six, A M.

0:47 Waebe called the Frogner Woman an unfaithful whore and shouted, let me see your phone. He then broke his phone in front of her and grabbed her and the door when she tried to leave the apartment, causing her to hit her head on the door. It is further alleged that he sat down beside her holding a knife and threatened to harm himself if she left or contacted police. He is also charged with maintaining contact with her between December sixteenth twenty twenty five and February first, twenty twenty six, despite an active restraining order, webe acknowledges criminal responsibility for the reckless conduct and restraining order breach. His defense attorney, Peter Seculate, told the court he has always acknowledged that there is nothing new here. The earliest suspicion of knife threats and bodily assault was dropped as a separate charge.

1:33 Henry s Burg explained why the new indictment was brought during the trial. If these matters had not now been formally handled, they would have been left hanging afterward once the main hearing was finished, and because of the resources required to conduct such a criminal case, they likely would not have been processed at all. So we are satisfied that we had found a way to have them dealt with. The court approved that the new changes will be folded into the ongoing proceedings. The Frogner woman is expected to testify Wednesday. Her legal counsel, Meta Yvonne Larsen replied using ais sister translation, the vibe of the reply was roughly, it is an aggravating circumstance that he attacked her right before the case began. That development framed the rest of the day. The remainder of the day focused on the account of abuse in a close relationship involving Norah Hauckland, which Hoeby denies. The first witness was Nora Helkland's sister.

2:27 She described her initial impression of Hoeby. He is very pleasant, cheerful, and easy to get to know. She then said she quickly grew fond of him and understood why her sister did as well. When asked about his background, she said, I don't think those of us who have grown up in a normal family, had a normal life, can understand how difficult it has been to Marius. She testified that she did not learn of alleged violence until after the relationship ended in the summer of twenty twenty three. She had a very hard time telling me how it was because she tried so hard to keep the relationship together, and she probably knew that when she was open and honest about it, then no one would support the two of them anymore. She said. Her sister told her he has actually hit me, he has actually taken a chokehold on me. When they tried to ask more about it, she said helcland broke down crying. The sister said she herself had never witnessed physical violence, and added, I have not been worried about anything physical or that she would not come out of it. Okay, I trust that she makes good choices. Helkland's pr adviser described the relationship as volatile and emotionally intense. She said there was a lot of up and down and what she described as love bombing.

3:33 In the police interview, she had used the word manipulated, and in court she elaborated, I experienced that he knew exactly what to do and say, in which buttons to press to get her to come back to him. I consider that to be quite a deep form of manipulation. She also described episodes where Hauckland declined TV opportunities and collaborations because Hoyby objected. Police officer Mina Bankerud read text messages from January sixth, twenty twenty three, concerning Halcln's potential participation in the television program Farman Hoiby wrote, you get no possible support from me, and you have to choose me, me or fireman. It's as simple as that. Alkeln responded that he was asking her to choose between him and her life and career more crown and controversy in just a moment. One of the more significant witnesses Tuesday was a man who had been present at Oslo scene in December of twenty twenty two. He clarified he was not a security guard, despite earlier references. He described seeing a young woman run out shouting leave me alone. A man followed her. He said, I thought this smells like trouble.

4:41 He said he saw the man move toward her upper chest and neck area with an outstretched arm. There was no doubt that he went for a chokehold. He later said he perceived it at the time as a jealousy incident. He also described Hoeby as nonchalant. Afterward, a close friend of Heiby, who has known him almost all his life, fight about both the relationship and an alleged twenty eighteen Skalgum after party connected to one of the rape counts, which Wabbe denies. Asked how he sees Hoyby, the friend said, I know Marius as a very happy, kind and playful boy. He added that he has distanced himself from media coverage. The picture that has been painted of him is not one I recognize about the twenty eighteen gathering at Skalgum.

5:24 He described it as a fairly calm after party. It was nothing memorable. A man who was incarcerated with Hoyby in twenty twenty four testified after having twice failing to appear. He said they did not really discuss the case in depth. Separately, the prosecution requested a four hundred thousand crone of fine against NRK for violating the court's photo restrictions on the first day of trial. Henry spot wrote that the fine must have a noticeable and deterrent effect that's about forty one thousand US dollars. The prosecution considers ni case identification of two of the complainants to be very serious. The breach of the court's permission and identification of complainants is likely to weaken the complainants and witnesses trust that they can appear and explain themselves in court with the shielding the court has promised them. The identification is irreversible once it occurs. The proceedings have now formally widened. Marius borg Hoebi has admitted criminal responsibility for the new charges of reckless conduct and breach of the restraining order. At the same time, he continues to deny the most serious allegations against him, including rape and abuse in a close relationship.

6:36 The portion of the case dealing with the abuse allegations involving Norah Hauckland now appears to be nearing the end of its witness phase. On Wednesday, the new indictment will be formally read out in court and Hoeby will enter his formal plea on those additional charges. The Frogner woman is expected to begin her testimony and the court will move into a new evidentiary phase focused on that relationship.
