Christchurch mosque murderer weighing appeal of whole-life term
Aljazeera says The Christchurch mosque attacker is considering appealing his whole-of-life jail term for the 2019 mass shootings, arguing his guilty pleas were made under duress, his lawyer said on Monday.
Self-proclaimed white supremacist Brenton Tarrant pleaded guilty to 51 charges of murder, 40 of attempted murder and one of terrorism in March last year.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, the first time a whole-life term has been handed down in New Zealand.
