		Ever since the trial of Tony Martin, the Norfolk farmer jailed for life for the murder of Fred Barras, and attempted murder of Brendan Fearon as they attempted to burgle his remote farmhouse, analysts have admitted that the legal area of 'reasonable force' requires clarification, particularly in respect of self-defence.
		As Mr Martin seemed to be obsessed with trespassers and protection of his property, the jury decided he had shot Barras and Fearon in cold blood.
		When Tony Martin was jailed for life on 19 April 2000 at Norwich Crown Court for the events of August of the previous year, the criminal justice system in this country had won a moral victory and Mr Martin was their trophy.

	Jeffrey Turner Comments on a Proposal by Tony Martin
		Martin, the Norfolk farmer who was jailed for shooting dead an intruder on his property, he would get across the idea that the British National Party favours dictatorship.
		Martin were right, and a dictator - strictly theoretically - would be a good thing for Britain in her present condition, it is all essentially academic because the political institutions of this country as they presently stand simply would not make such a thing possible.
		Martin is in fact a conduit; he is one of those who are thinking ahead of their time.

		Martin had been burgled "dozens of times" before and had taken to sleeping with the weapon close at hand.
		It is now emerging that both jurors and witnesses at Martin's trial were intimidated by members of the "traveling community" to which the burglar belonged (read: Gypsies), and that the bucolic thatched-cottage country district where Mr.
		Martin farmed is in such a state of unpoliced lex talionis as to make the South Bronx look positively tranquil.

	Britain's media glorify convicted killer
		Martin is a severely psychologically disturbed man. Even friends and neighbours at the time of his trial described the farmer as “weird” and “strange”—a depiction only reinforced by Martin’s decision to take his four-foot teddy bear to court with him every day.
		Martin’s sentence was reduced on appeal to manslaughter, with five years imprisonment, after the court accepted he had the emotional and mental age of a 10-year-old.
		This, and the farmer’s refusal to express any remorse for Barras’s death, meant that Martin’s request for even earlier parole were rejected on the grounds that he remained a danger, so the farmer served out two-thirds of his sentence before release.

		Tony Martin, the farmer who was jailed for life for the murder of a teenage burglar on his property, has had his conviction reduced to manslaughter.
		Martin's lawyers presented fresh evidence relating to where he was standing when he fired the shots and whether he could be said to have acted with "reasonable force" in self-defence.
		The farmer's legal team contended this was relevant not only to the question of whether he acted through diminished responsibility, but also to his plea of self-defence - because he feared a much greater danger to his physical safety than the average person.

	John Tyndall: Tony Martin, a Political Prisoner!
		Last month it was announced that Norfolk farmer Tony Martin, jailed for manslaughter for shooting a burglar at his home, had had his application for early parole rejected on the recommendation of a probation officer.
		It is clear from the fact that Martin was given a mere five years for manslaughter that the court took very much into account that in shooting the burglar he did not intend to kill him and acted under great provocation and duress.
		Martin's problem clearly is that he is an honest man who speaks his mind and refuses to grovel.
