December 25, 1980 - Aleksandr Rubel
Rubel committed six murders in Tallinn while still young enough to be sentenced under juvenile statutes, meaning the legal system's constraints on punishment shaped the outcome as much as the crimes themselves. The gap between the gravity of the offenses and the eight-year maximum available to the court made his case a reference point in Estonian discussions about juvenile justice. He was released in 2006 after serving that sentence in full.
