The lawyers assigned to represent Brenton Tarrant, the man convicted of the Christchurch mosque attack, have been granted permanent name suppression.
The lawyers will represent Tarrant in his appeal against his convictions and sentence. The appeal was lodged two years ago.
Both lawyers, experienced in high-profile cases, said they held concerns for their safety and that of their families, citing the intensity of backlash likely to arise from their association with Tarrant.
Gutless scum. Happy to take taxpayers sweat equity though.
