New Zealand’s Court of Appeal rejected Brenton Tarrant’s attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks that killed 51 people.
In a low-profile hearing, New Zealand’s Court of Appeal considered Brenton Tarrant’s bid to withdraw his 2020 guilty pleas for the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks that killed 51 people.
Tarrant, a white supremacist who targeted Muslim worshippers, claimed he was mentally unwell when he pleaded guilty, but prosecutors countered that he was fit to stand trial and no prior concerns were raised.
The case, which could have led to a retrial, was dismissed, reflecting New Zealand’s broader strategy to suppress Tarrant’s extremist ideology by banning his manifesto and livestream footage, limiting public attention, and denying him the notoriety he sought.
