Tony Martin was 80 years old and was sentenced to prison for murdering a juvenile criminal for murdering him. The case became the reason why Selbul touched the primitive nerves between British homeowners, and revealed the huge gap between public opinion and the priority of the British criminal judicial system.
Martin is a weird loneliness, obsessed with safety on his dilapidated Flak House. In the debate, whether Martin tries to defend his property and his own life is to defend his property, whether Martin has used reasonable power to the invaders.
On the evening of August 20, 1999 (Friday), Martin woke up the sound of theft of the room downstairs. Martin was stolen or robbed 10 times in many years. He was desperate for the police and armed himself with an oily Winchester pump action Shot shotgun. He did not hold a license.
In a state of horror he described, Martin boarded the stairs, shot at the dark at least three times, and injured a thief on his legs, killing another thief. Fred Barras retreated. Brendan Fearon, Brendan Fearon, and his injured associates, are common thieves. Their holiday drivers were outside, and they boasted 114 criminal convictions.
Martin initially claimed that he was in the bedroom when he was awakened by the sound of the attacker. He said that when the torch shot into his eyes, he fired from a crumbling staircase to his breakfast room.
However, forensic evidence tends to support the prosecution case, that is, he has been waiting for theft in the darkness of his house, and effectively “executes” Ballas. The test showed that Martin had at least twice when he was downstairs had been launched by him, and the defense accepted Martin that was actually downstairs. The jury believes that his actions have surpassed the appropriate self -defense and found that he was guilty of murder.

But in the enthusiastic atmosphere of the case, the facts are often forgotten. Some parts of the media praised Martin as a folk hero-depicting him as an ordinary person. He was plagued by theft and was disappointed by the police and was repelled desperately. Shortly after the verdict, 85 % of the voters said that they believed that they believed the jury misunderstood.
At the decent of the soil, the rosy son and the surviving theft, Brendan Fearon, are very contrasting. Congratulations of vocational criminals. Fearon seems to reflect the modern variety of modern travel criminals- “band bandit” seems to be able to offend and re-sin, and does not have the risk of any higher fines like shooting wrists.
This incident was so troubled that Prime Minister Tony Blair, so that he wanted to know in the memorandum that the memorandum was leaked, and whether the Labor Party had lost the connection of public opinion. But almost no change. Police director promised to focus higher on rural crimes. The government is required to reform the self -defense law.
Even if Martin’s verdict is simplified as a crime of negligence, this controversy continues. This revelation has caused Fearon to be awarded Sue Martin’s legal aid “loss income”. Early release. Treatment of heroin sentences. “Daily Mirror” reported: “Mr. Fearon was released because he expressed Re regret for his crime.”
During Martin’s trial, there were two key issues in danger: Martin stood there when the thief was firing, and his mental state at the time. The prosecution of the case attracted the attention of Martin’s weird single lifestyle to destroy his reputation during the trial, but under the instructions of his client, Martin’s defense team was prevented from reducing responsibility. However, 18 months later, the evidence of his psychological and health problems showed that his beliefs were reduced to murderers and sentenced him to five years.
Because of the enthusiastic debate on the law and order, the way of social treatment of mental illness patients raised more in -depth questions. The reality is that Martin’s story is not a folk hero, but a story about being confused, unstable and lonely. Their problems have never been recognized and have never been helped by what he needs.

Tony Martin was born on December 16, 1944 in Wisbech, Cambridge, a few miles from Fred Barras. His father is a wealthy fruit farmer, and both parents come from local agricultural families.
Although it is not as smart as academic, Martin has educated in a private education at a pre -school school in Hunstan, where he won the sports award, and then won the award at the Cokethorpe Park School in Oxford County, where he was him. Outstanding all -around athlete. Even so, he is still a lonely person, although there is almost no signs of mental unstable signs that will bother his later life.
After leaving the school at the age of 17, Martin began to travel. He worked in Australian farms. He served as a cruise housekeeper in the Pacific of Pacific, India. He jumped off the ship in New Zealand and obtained his first prison as an illegal alien. He has left for a few years. Even if he returns, he has avoided family agricultural business, but went to labor on the Beihai Petroleum Rigage.
He is still a handsome young man. He opened a Lotus Eran. He finally returned to Norfolk in the mid -1970s after his grandfather’s death and took over a pig farm in his parents’ property. In 1979, he inherited the desolate house from an aunt and uncle. This was the property of the Victorian era of the red brick, outside the village of Emneth Hungate.
At first, he talked about the rule of renovation of the house, but his will failed. He allowed the house and the surrounding garden to destroy it. However, he did buy the land, and finally established the property that occupied 350 acres of land. A pile of trees planted apples, pears and plums, and pursuing his models and collecting antiques, including silver, furniture and Objets D’art. Essence
It is unclear when Martin starts to get rid of the track-there are rumors that he is single love love, and claims that he is a distant relative to abuse his childhood. A consultant psychiatrist concluded in the appeal that he had suffered from “paranoid personality disorder” for many years, and he was frustrated after adulthood.

The local thief believed that Martin’s collection was worth 100,000 pounds. In the 1990s, he suffered a series of theft, but the police did nothing. Although he was of course the victim, police sources doubted whether many incidents had happened.
In any case, obsessed with Martin’s life. After a break in, Martin said, “If I caught the bastard, I would shoot them.” Although many Finns also feel the same, they rarely dare to say loudly, but the desolate houses have won the knockout of the nickname madman Martin.
The three Rowa dancers next to him, he slept on his workwear, and on the bed instead of on the bed, boarded all the windows, so that the riots of Changchun vines, huge Hogwede running, so that he could hardly see him. House. During the jury, the police were forced to clean up the sacks from the floor and pointed out that the idiot trap on the landing point was pointed out.
He also began to be famous for his enthusiasm for using guns. In 1976, he allegedly went to a friend’s house and waved the left -wheel pistol of the First World War: shot and killed the pigeons. In 1987, he participated in violent debate with his brother, and smashed the window in his brother’s home with A shotgun. In 1994, he found that a man in the orchard raised Apple and opened a hole behind his van, and his Shot shotgun certificate was revoked. He used to kill Winchester’s pumping movement of Fred Barras.
In addition to the thief, Martin’s pet hatred is a Gypsy, he calls “Diddies” or “Pykies”. The trial was informed that he believed that Hitler had “the right idea” and talked about putting the Gypsians in the middle of the field, and bypassed the location with the wire and the machine. Fred Barras is both a Jeep and a thief.
During the few years of killing him, Martin became more and more isolated and frustrated. In 1997, his leg thrombosis was formed, and his health and general fitness deteriorated, which exacerbated his sense of vulnerability and paranoia.

However, no one reminded anything to help-not Martin gave them any encouragement. He has few friends. Some locals think he is weird, but is essentially harmless. Others felt that he was unbalanced and potentially dangerous. The two factions gave him a vast seat. A small number of people who tolerate his company are sympathetic. In general, he prefers his dog’s companionship and the collection of teddy bears he thinks he is “very good”.
Martin did not mix with other prisoners in prison, and continued to wear completely dressed sleep, and in bed. After two -thirds of his prison, he was released on July 28, 2003. He said he said he wanted to return to Bleak House, “depending on the season” and “when the mood is right”, although he is said to be camping on the car.
In a protocol of Max Clifford, a public relations officer, Martin sold his story to the Daily Mirror at a price of 125,000 pounds. At the same time, it is said that FEARON supporters appreciate tens of thousands of pounds on Martin’s head.
Martin subsequently got involved in right -wing politics, appeared on the UKIP platform, and recognized the French Kuomintang. However, due to his negligence, he was not qualified to represent the parliament.
The public’s anger for his faith continued to boil, and he still had the ability to surprise his Araki politician. In December 2003, a proposal allows homeowners to use “any means” to defend their own houses (known as Tony Martin Law) in the highest measures of Tony Martin Law. To become a legal measure-the embarrassment of Stephen Pound, the Labor National Assembly provided services when he picked up the selected bill through the House of Labor. He reluctantly agreed to see if he could find a colleague who was willing to accept it, but only jokingly published a comment: “People speak-bastard.”
