'The assassin, who served in the Australian Army before joining “combat charity” Shadows of Hope, began an intelligence operation on Martin that included flying a drone over his home.'

Any ideas what the drone was for?

General information gathering I suppose. Maybe he entertained thoughts of shooting him at home.

Information. Are there cars or bikes he may switch to . Can it be done at home. Whats the line of sight etc. Maybe he did a 3am flight and dropped low?

Yes.
Reduce the sentence by minus five years.
He's a dangerous ****er and society needs him locked up for as long as possible under any circumstances.

Eye-watering payout for wrongly accused Nick Martin killer

An innocent man wrongly identified online as the assassin who murdered senior bikie Nick Martin has been awarded $250,000 in damages for the defamatory accusation.

The former Rebels boss was shot by a sniper while sitting with his family at Perth Motorplex in Kwinana in December 2020.

The hitman was a former soldier who was charged with murder about three months later and eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison.
His identity remains suppressed.

But David Siglin posted the innocent man’s name and three photos of him on Facebook, claiming he had been arrested for the crime.

“The question is whether it is thought that (the man) has performed a public service, assuming, of course, that he is guilty as charged?” the post read.

“If he did, in fact, ping notorious bikie boss Nick Martin, the question is: Why did he do it? Was he suddenly moved to magnanimously clean up our community, or was he contracted to act as he did?

“If he was contracted, then by whom and for what reason?

“His lawyer, David Manera, did not give a commanding performance on the steps of court. He will need to lift his game considerably.”
Several people replied to the post, telling Siglin he had named the wrong person and it could put the man and his family in danger.

But Siglin initially refused to remove the post, saying there was “nothing stupid about outing a person who has been charged” — until two days later when a detective contacted him.

The innocent man learnt about the post from a friend while at dinner, then deleted his social media accounts.

WA District Court Judge Wendy Gillan said the man was angry that he had been dragged into something he had nothing to do with.

“He was very concerned for his own security, from the risk of retribution by outlaw motorcycle gangs, but was also concerned about the security of his family and friends who may be caught in the crossfire,” she said.

Judge Gillan noted the man left his home, sold his belongings and withdrew from his usual life.

“It caused him considerable hurt, fear and anxiety. I find that the emotional impact on the plaintiff was severe for more than a year,” she said.

The judge also found the imputations were very serious.

“It is difficult to think of a worse thing than identifying an innocent person as a murderer, an assassin, a contract killer, particularly where the accusation relates to such a public crime and where the potential ramifications for that innocent person could have been very dangerous,” she said.

“They are at the highest end of the scale of serious defamations. The allegation made carried with it the risk, or at the very least, a reasonable fear of retribution.

“The personal harm to the plaintiff is very real.”

Siglin was ordered to pay the innocent man $250,000 in damages plus $42,041 in interest.

And this is why we have rules here! This fine would absolutely break most people financially.

And this is why we have rules here! This fine would absolutely break most people financially.

And these rules are sorely needed, as with the 'recent and ongoingly feral thread' happening proves.

Or is it more a form of Insurance Policy and early release/parole bargaining chip for the writer?

Bikie sniper’s secret prison memoirs being kept locked away

'Nick Martin: Secret autobiography of sniper who shot bikie boss revealed as trial of alleged mastermind looms​

Tim Clarke
THE NIGHTLY
13 JUN, 2024

The sniper who admitted to executing bikie boss Nick Martin has written an autobiography in prison — which is now under lock and key in the office of WA homicide detectives.

Lawyers for David Pye, the bikie rival who allegedly paid for the hit on Martin in December 2020, recently discovered the existence of the pages in preparation for his upcoming trial for the murder of Mr Martin.

Police and prison authorities have known about the writings since the middle of last year.

But its existence has only now been revealed in court, as defence lawyers seek permission to see and read the writings as part of their preparations for Mr Pye’s bombshell trial.

Summons have been issued to the Commissioner of Police and the Department of Justice seeking that the pages be disclosed.

However, WA’s Supreme Court was told that a claim of privilege had been made against the book, which may have to be determined by a court before it was handed over.

Until then, a lawyer for Police Commissioner Col Blanch said the original hard copy of the writings was being held in a safe in the homicide unit.

Preparation for Mr Pye’s trial continued in WA’s Supreme Court on Thursday.
