Ref. 34: Supreme Court (Sw.: HD for "Högsta Domstolen") Chief Justice jokes about the sex purchase by the Associate Justice. The Associate Justice who paid for sex will keep his job in HD. Associate Justice Leif Thorsson may continue to sit on court in trials pertaining to sex. Despite the fact that he himself has broken the law.
