Hmm, very profound incident - highlights conflict of social values.

Indeed. The predatory murderer will be free in 18 years, after which point he can live and flourish, whereas his victim will be dead forever. A salient and poignant example of European social values. Loundry (talk) 22:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Somebody should really look up the correct English terminology for all the (civil law!) legal jargon. "Sitting" seems to me to be a mistranslation of the Dutch word "zitting".

I believe the term in english is a "hearing". --Hurkummer 11:58, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't believe this is the correct picture of van der Graaf. This looks like the picture of Mohammed Bouyeri, the killer of Theo van Gogh.

I've just confronted someone in discussion on Czech forum who is convinced about Volkert van der Graaf killing P.F. in order to defend muslims. Because muslim-cause played quite an accidental (if none) role in the motivation of this animal rights activist I suggest to change the text a little bit so that this be more obvious. I haven't access to editing and frankly don't know how it should be done. --Vodník february 24th, 2006

The intro seems somewhat pro Van der Graaf to me, he is an assassin. JeffBurdges 20:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
