- <p> RELEASED. Christer Pettersson, 42, career criminal
- convicted in July of murdering Swedish Prime Minister Olof
- Palme; by the Stockholm Appeal Court; in Stockholm. The
- seven-member court ruled that no gun or motive could be found
- linking Pettersson to the 1986 shooting of Palme, a dominant
- figure in the international socialist and disarmament movements,
- as he and his wife Lisbet strolled on a Stockholm street after
- taking in a movie. Although prosecutors say they will probably
- not appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, their final decision
- will come early next month.
