Lawyer says New Zealand mosque gunman considering appeal

Rosemary Omar, whose 24-year-old son Tariq was gunned down at Al Noor mosque, told RNZ that the gunman's claims were nothing more than him seeking further attention.

What else does he have to do with his life but to continue to cause pain to those family, friends, and relatives of his victims!

He shouldnt be given the "air" time, and JT should just delete this article to!

Best forgotten and left in his hole.

My opinion of lawyers in general has just been cranked down another notch. Yes, I know he/she's just doing their job but why would they choose to do that?

This idiot can keep dreaming. Even if he got 2 years for each murder, that would be 102 years so he's never getting out of prison.

I actually agree!! He has been so hard done buy that we should actually reduce his sentence...Seriously!! 51 x 10 years a piece for the murders and 5 years a piece x 40 for attempted murder bring that to 710 years, and give him the opportunity of parol after 250 years and I would be ok with that!

Muslims who are in jail in western countries, especially Europe, frequently do appeals and get leniency from left-wing governments. A right wing government should do the same for him.

He will never get out. Ever.

considering appealing his convictions and prison sentence, his lawyer said, Why? stop wasting every ones time and money.

Tarrant was subject to inhumane and degrading treatment in jail, prompting him to plead guilty under duress,

Does Mr Tarrant want his mummy? awwww, what a shame, this is what happens when you kill and murder inocent people, sorry, I have no time or sympathy for this looser,

The only way this mass murderer should come out of a jail is in a wooden box. I wonder what the relative of the 51 murdered people think?

considering appeal

I dont know what he wants to appeal. He documented the crime himself, you can not get a more clear-cut case than that.

the face of a loser. blamed others for feeling like a rat but it was him and his rat mates all along. I hope he lives another 70 yrs and the next time JT feels like giving him publicity it's cause he is deceased.

He live-streamed himself during a mass killing. There is no defense.

I can only imagine the downvote came from either his family or one of my ‘followers’.

Ellis said the gunman was held in solitary confinement for much of the time while awaiting his trial and lacked proper access to lawyers, information and documentation about his case.

If it’s true that he was not given proper access to lawyers and information as required by law, then he has a case. It’s that simple, and not up to how much posters here want to flaunt their “outrage”.

He live-streamed himself during the killing. That’s not outrage, it’s fact. Flaunt that.

If he somehow finds a loophole to overturn his sentence there will be plenty of outrage.

Seems already to be a fully converted Islamic country; Al-Noor mosque, Omar etc and a former there usual native Westerner citizen in jail. Are you sure this is all still news about NZ? lol

No, it isn’t an Islamic country.

Yes, it is news about NZ.

Need any more help? (lol)

Well, we can't ALL support white supremacists.

Meaning what?

Agree. There is a process, and virtue-signalling does not change that.

@Bob Fosse He live-streamed himself during the killing. That’s not outrage, it’s fact. Flaunt that.

It’s utterly irrelevant to his lawyers contention that legal due process was not followed. However, your virtue has been signaled, and that’s the important thing, right?

@BobFosse If he somehow finds a loophole to overturn his sentence there will be plenty of outrage.

You clearly know nothing about the NZ legal system. Really.

A cursory search shows that the lawyer is quite a publicity hound who delights in "human rights" claims of killers.

He deserves his due process. It's what separates just countries from the corrupt.

I don't use Google. Do you want to try again?

Ellis had nothing to do with Tarrant's trial and was not his lawyer. He contacted the convicted mass murderer recently and suggested this preposterous publicity stunt.

“They were mean to me in jail. How could anyone be so cruel?”, asks man who murdered over 50 innocent people, “Clearly I am the real victim.”

@Helix, why don’t we reconvene here when his frivolous appeal is inevitably rejected, so that you can explain to all of us that justice was served, that we were right all along, and that you were just a bit slow on the uptake.

I’m not sure I understand this comment. He WAS given leniency, considering my grandpappy’s generations dealt with white supremacist mass murderers by giving them an all-expenses-paid trip to the end of a rope. The guy should be thanking his lucky stars he did it in a left-wing country like NZ. A more conservative nation would have seen him fried by now.
