This man is a monster IMO,yet his defence lawyer stated " he is just a human being not a monster,a monster would not have put a Christmas tree up for his daughter whilst she was held captive".
Now i understand his lawyer has to do a job but that is taking the realms of believability to exstreams.

In Austria, Joseph Fritzl has pleaded guilty to incest and rape on the first day of his trial, but denied charges of murder and slavery. The 73-year-old locked his daughter up in his cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children by her. Three of these remained underground with their mother. Three were raised by Fritzl and his wife. One child, a twin boy, died a few days after birth. His body was incinerated in the cellar by Fritzl.
For their own protection, many of his victims will give evidence from behind closed doors. The jury is expected to reach a verdict by the end of the week. The abuse came to light when one of the children living in the cellar had to be taken to hospital.
