WHAT'S NEXT

Aug. 24: A five-judge panel will announce its ruling.

If deemed mentally competent: Breivik would likely be given Norway's maximum prison term of 21 years. A sentence can be extended beyond that if a prisoner is considered a menace to society.

If declared insane: He would be committed to a mental institution for as long as he's considered sick and dangerous: that could mean for the rest of his life.
