Such a process can "lead to ex-gratia compensation to the two doctors, and thereby to some form of redress", writes Johansson.
He writes at the same time that money cannot compensate for the fact that the two doctors "had their lives ruined".
"But it is the means we have, and a decent state must take responsibility for its failures."
Two men, known as the general practitioner and the forensic pathologist, were prosecuted in 1988 for the murder of 27-year-old Catrin da Costa, which took place in 1984. The men were acquitted of murder, but in the verdict, the court wrote that the men had dismembered the woman, which led to their medical licenses being revoked.
The debate about redress for the men has been revived through SVT's documentary series "The Swedish Dismemberment Murder".
