I would like to add to the information given on the parole board hearing for Farmer Tony Martin. I am able to quote virtually verbatim. A member of the board,in stating Martin's rejection, said this: He thinks the fifties (1950's) are better than today. He has failed to come into the 21st century.
For those of us who grew up in that country in the fifties, we, if working class,know it was no bed of roses. However the long arm of the law was feared by the likes of Fearon. Wicked evil murderers often had 6-8 weeks to live pending an appeal of the death sentence.
As to the parole board- cruel swine, says I. I did read, hopefully, he can obtain freedom in May of this year- being a model prisoner.
Let's pray that he is able to obtain parole in May. Hopefully, someday common sense and decency will return to the legal system that tried and convicted him and he will be totally exonerated.
How is his family faring? Are they now forced to take public dole?
