WNR,
The reports also said that most locals had lost confidence in the police to protect them. Mr Martin may have been eccentric but mostly he was terrified of crime and was not prepared to sit around and let it continue happening. At the end of the day why should it? I stand by everything I say.
I can tell you that if this jury had been made up of people like me Tony would be a free man by now and the criminals would have been sent a clear message. Unfortunately the view that criminals should be protected to the nth degree, at the expense of everyone else, seems to be the commonly held one.
