It's very easy to criticise the police and the authorities in a case like this. I remember this happening and it's hard to believe it was almost 20 years ago. The public had a lot of symphathy for Tony Martin and quite rightly I feel, but every case has to be judged on the facts so I don't blame the police or the judicial system for doing what had to be done.
Imagine a similar scenario if someone shot at a couple of young lads for scrumping apples for example, ok they shouldn't have done it but the public's opinion would Have been completely different so it's quite right that each case should be investigated,but it's terrible that things have to come to this of course.
