"Throughout history - it has been true that the lone assassin has

been not so alone.......governments and intelligence agencies
have been known to prey on and use simple and sometimes ill
people to massacre innocent victims in order to gain greater

MARTIN BRYANT - THE OTHER STORY

This page was written in response to my feelings that something
was very wrong about the Port Arthur incident and the ultimate
outcome as reported by the press. It was more than the media
frenzy that saturated the tabloids with sensationalism and
emotional hype. The never-ending tirade of media concentration on
the private lives of people who should have been left to grieve
in peace was a lead up to the Prime Minister's staggering
announcement to enforce new gun laws.

MURDER WEAPON HANDED IN DURING PREVIOUS AMNESTY

On the 23rd of June 1996 the Sunday Telegraph published a story
about a gun collector in Victoria who identified the AR15 rifle
used for the Port Arthur killings as one that he had handed in to
police during an amnesty in February 1993. Strange that the
weapon used in the killings just happened to fall off a conveyor
belt on the way to the smelters.

The media created the impression that Bryant's guilt was a
foregone conclusion and it was expected that he would plead
guilty and fore-go a jury trial. I wondered why he would do that.
Lawyers for offenders who perpetrated far more horrific crimes
such as torture and dismembering before murder had pleaded
similarly and to the disgust of the public had received paltry
sentencing or treatment.

BRYANT HAD EVERY EXCUSE TO PLEAD "NOT "GUILTY

When Martin Bryant stood up in court and did as I expected him to
do and pleaded "not guilty" the repercussions of that stirred up
the biggest ants nest since Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald. The
Department of Prosecutions had practically promised the public a
speedy trial to put this assassin away as quickly as possible
with a minimum of fuss. The reasons they gave? To save the
witnesses having to suffer a trial by jury and dredging up all
the trauma again.

Imagine what would happen to our judicial system if in every
horrific trial the witnesses had to be spared reliving the
incidents at the expense of seeing justice done. There would be
no justice at all. In order for a man to be accused there must be
an accuser and no one stepped forward to identify Martin Bryant
at his trial. Despite the dozens of people who could have pointed
out Bryant as the assassin the only witness to testify was a
questionable video recording.

My reaction was that if he was not to get a trial by jury then,
being an intellectually challenged and deranged person, he would
have to be judged and sentenced according to his mental
condition. Well, how about temporary insanity then? No, the
Australian people had been worked into such a frenzy by the press
that nothing less than the maximum penalty would be tolerated for
Martin Bryant regardless of his condition. God only knows where
those snivel libertarians were in this instance. Isn't everyone
entitled to a fair trial? And is not everyone innocent until
found guilty? Apparently not in this case.

Now, I am one for throwing away the key to those guilty of any
violent offense. This business of insanity, temporary insanity,
temporarily drugged, drunk or being very angry at the time is not
an excuse for harming another human being unless in self defense
in my opinion. However we can't count the number of times this
kind of plea has worked to get some other scum of the earth off
on crimes equally as horrific. So why wouldn't Martin Bryant,
accused by every man and his dog as being a mentally deranged
maniac, not be allowed to plead insanity? A psychiatrist had
determined that Bryant had an IQ of 66 yet rather than this
information acting as proof that he at least had diminished
responsibility it was used as adequate proof that he was just
over the border-line of being sane and therefore could not plead
"not guilty" on those grounds. Again, another assurance that
Bryant would receive the maximum penalty.

As I was to find out later, after reading what is left of
Bryant's origional interview, at no time has he admitted to being
at Port Arthur on that day even after extensive questioning. In
fact he admitted to several other incriminating events and a full
confession would have made no differance to the trouble he was
already in.

Even though Bryant had not been identified in any police lineup
as the gunman, outrage against this man was akin to the old wild
west lynch mobs. I just couldn't forget the trouble that the
media went to profile Bryant, from enhancing of his photograph to
make him look like a wild-eyed Manson maniac to the innuendoes
that his house was an arsenal for military weapons. All of this
made finding an impartial jury almost impossible - perhaps that
was the idea.

TRIAL BY MEDIA ENSURED NO TRIAL BY JURY

Martin Bryant's trial was not by jury but rather by media and
when he pleaded 'not guilty' the commotion that this caused
indicated to me that this was not what the judicial system had in
mind. In fact his plea was refused.

Bryant re-emerged at another hearing and this time pleaded guilty
but strangely laughed as the names of the dead were read out.
Now, if this wasn't the actions of a deranged man then perhaps it
was the reaction of an innocent one. Perhaps the actions of a man
who had tried to plead not guilty because, despite his
instructions, he knew that this was not right. Perhaps a man who
was forced to change his plea in order to satisfy the lust of the
public and now found only irony in the legal system that was
railroading him.

The media told us that it was obvious that Bryant was the
assassin and therefore it would only cause more distress to the
victims of Port Arthur if a trial by jury forced them onto the
stand to testify. Never mind that another man's life was at
stake. The headlines told us that he could "Rot In Hell". Never
mind whether he was guilty or not. Trial or no trial everyone
agreed that this eccentric half wit performed the single most
devastating killing spree of the century in a style and manner
that defied all reasonable explanation.

Silently I agonised over my feelings about this whole thing. I
was unable to talk to others about it for fear of their hatred of
Bryant clouding any sensible debate but one day some pages copied
from a paper that isn't owned by the multinationals fell into my
lap. Someone who knew about my concerns gave me an article to
read that confirmed my suspicions and eased that knot in my
stomach that told me we had all been very much misinformed about
Port Arthur. In my hands I finally held the pages that filled in
the missing bits of the puzzle and answered most of my questions.
