Martin is serving a five-year sentence for the manslaughter of Barras after the Court of Appeal overturned a life sentence for murder imposed at his trial.

I had been thinking about this farmer recently, wondering if he had been released yet. Guess not.

It's a sorry state of affairs that this man who was only trying to defend himself and his property is serving time in jail for doing so.

There have been a few articles on the farmer (Tony Martin) over the past week or so.

He was recently denied parole. The parole board's reasoning was that he remained a threat to burglers...

I hope Mr. Martin decides to move to the USA after he is released.
