Having worked and lived in the beautiful Cotswolds for a short time in 1993, I regularly subscribe to the local Journal, and I am appalled by the amount of crime I read every week,from burgulers to serious crime.

These low life scum who are making the good law abiding citizens lives a misery. I back Mr Tony Martin 100 per cent although I think he should have shot into the air or maybe a flesh wound not take a life, not because I have a thought for the burgular but for the victims of crime so they don't serve a prison sentence.

Some law, Mr Fearon career criminal being able to sue Mr Martin for loss of earnings who has never done an honest days work ever for £15,000 is disgusting. What loss of earnings Mr Fearon?
