Conman jibe for Martin burglar
EFL
The burglar shot by Tony Martin has been filmed cycling and climbing steps with little apparent difficulty. Brendon Fearon, who was shot in the legs at Martinâs Norfolk farmhouse, was filmed walking briskly and cycling near his home. Fearon, of Newark, Nottinghamshire, is seeking up to £100,000 compensation from Martin over the injuries he sustained.
He said that he was crippled by the shooting and couldnât continue his "career".
The footage, taken over the past week by The Sun newspaper, shows that the 33-year-old cannot be trusted and is a conman, Martinâs friend and supporter Malcolm Starr said. He says Fearonâs claim for compensation against Martin should be thrown out. Martinâs mother, Hilary, said the film highlighted the "potty" nature of the legal system. "This demonstrates that itâs a crazy thing anyway. Itâs the system - itâs potty," she said.
Couldnât agree more.
