"I recommend that those who don't have to pay attention don't listen in," Breivik warned people in the courtroom. There will be some "horrific descriptions," he stated. However, no one was seen to leave.
Breivik's testimony on Friday focused on what happened at Utøya, and how he shot and murdered 69 people, most of them young paarticipants at the Labour Party youth camp. He spoke for about two hours, and went through his actions in chronological order.
"The first shot was incredibly difficult. It was almost impossible. It goes against human nature, and I felt that," Breivik explained. "But then it became so much easier."
Breivik told the court that he was aware of what he was doing, and that he knew that it was wrong, but still chose to continue to execute the young victims. He also explained that regardless of how many people the bomb killed in the Government Square his plan was always to go to Utøya.
His very clinical description of how and where each person was shot, made without showing any emotion, was more like a miltary debriefing than anything else.
Breivik will continue his testimony of the events at Utøya on Monday.
