Jakob Lilja: This was not what I hoped for – P4 Malmöhus

The ice hockey player has already been sentenced by both the district court and the court. The Supreme Court has now ruled on the verdict.

– Obviously, I am disappointed, it was not what I hoped for. But at the same time, I wanted that. I know myself that I did not target where he met. It's an assessment by their side, they are not in a match situation, so they do not know how that is, says Jakob Lilja.

In March 2015, when Jakob Lilja played for Rögle, the ice hockey player gave a powerful blow to the club that hit the head of an opponent.

The Supreme Court follows both the District Court and the High Court and judges Jakob Lilja for abuse. On the other hand, they withdraw the claim, referring to a penalty already imposed on Lilja by the board of the hockey association.

– The things you do on the ice are not things you would do in society. In one way or another, any match penalty would be a street crime. he said, it will be a difficult path.
