The prosecution has expressed surprise at a Copenhagen court's acquittal of four alleged accomplices on terror charges in a 2015 shooting whose victims included a Jewish guard outside an area synagogue, according to Agence France Presse. They faced life sentences. Two of the four were convicted of a lesser charge.
"We are surprised that the court has judged the evidence against the accused differently than the prosecution has," the assistant prosecutor in the case, Sidsel Klixbull, said in a statement. Justice Minister Soren Pind wrote on Twitter that authorities would "study the verdict and see whether to appeal."
