The decision means that Breivik instead faces years, or even a lifetime, of compulsory psychiatric treatment in a secure ward, if, as expected, it is backed by an expert panel.
State prosecutor Svein Holden said that the two forensic psychiatrists believed Breivik had been insane throughout the years that he meticulously planned the attacks.
"Anders Behring Breivik during a long period of time has developed the mental disorder of paranoid schizophrenia, which has changed him and made him into the person he is today," he said in a press conference after receiving the report.
The two forensic psychiatrists, Torgeir Husby and Synne Soerheim, had uncovered "grandiose delusions whereby he believes he is to determine who is to live and who is to die," he explained.
Jarl Robert Christensen, whose lost his daughter Birgitta in the attack, said that victims' relatives would struggle to accept the ruling.
