Burton in Prison

A commenter in a previous post, said:

i vsited a good buddy of mine in jail yesterday. hes finishing a life sentence… he has spent time with Burton. he told me a the guy is nuts and everyone knew it,,, no shit.

apparently burton was sent to wellington to do an intensive rehabilitation course for 6 months. its a thing for violent offenders – the real bad ones. anyway, he was kicked off for beating up guys in the unit. he told my buddy that he knocked one guy out with one punch. he walked out of the guys cell, but was still angry that he didnt inflict enough pain on him. sohe went back and while the guy was still out, he snapped one of his legs.

hes also angry with one of the escapees from last time for giving them up. apparently the house was full of weapons and he wanted to shoot it out with the cops..

Now this is second and third hand, so I am not suggesting is necessairly the gospel truth. But maye any journalists looking into why Burton was released by the Parole Board, could try and ascertain if the account above is correct.
