[Margaret Pilkington]

that would be the farmer Tony Martin...he served three years of a five year jail sentence...I think that the law changed as a result of this case....and that a householder can use disproportionate force, if it can be shown that they acted in the heat of the moment to defend themselves.

In any case it would NOT be murder as it was not premeditated...and if the burglar had not been there he would be alive today.
This man should be given a medal not a jail sentence...he has saved the tax payer a lot of money.
You do not need a trial when someone is caught in a place that they should not be, also going equipped for burglary....carrying a screwdriver....he had not gone into this man's house to change a plug!
