It was a very interesting case, the Swedish guy apparently is nuts, but not crazy enough that he will get off for what he did. He can expect most likely to spend the next 7 years in a US prison...
Sadly enough the guy doesn't even think he did anything wrong, he thinks he can go home to Sweden soon...
I guess this guy was involved with a Swedish company in Italy. The company had some shady dealings (and are under a separate investigation in Sweden for their financial crimes).
The guy that is in jail here thinks the owner of that company stole millions of dollars from him. Problem is there is no proof this guy even worked for the company. It looks like his ex girlfriend did, and she apparently wiped out the company's assets before disappearing. So now somehow this guy is blaming the owner of that company.
Regardless if that company has done shady business or not, the crimes this guy is accused of are second degree felonies. He threatened the business owner and his family back in Sweden, so badly so they fled here to Florida. The guy followed them and has been harassing them ever since. He told them he would kill them with a bomb, and the police found a fake hand grenade in his hotel room. He had also printed out pictures of the business owner's children with the address of their schools, with the treat he was going to throw acid in their faces.
So today we went through a bunch of papers to see if there is anything to corroborate the guy's story, but it seems he is delusional. We also spoke with his mother in Sweden, and she has no idea why he has acted like this also. Interesting stuff, makes me glad to be a "Normal" person with "normal" problems! It almost felt like this was all the scrip to some kind of soap opera or something! :-)

Du milde, är det på riktigt får man nästan lov att utbrista i. Ja, ens egna problem ter sig ju väldigt "normala" och rätt futtiga med jämfört med den där härvan.
