Christchurch mass killer loses bid to overturn conviction

Christoph Tarrant, the white supremacist who killed 51 people at two Christchurch mosques in March 2019, lost his appeal to overturn his convictions on Thursday. New Zealand's Court of Appeal unanimously rejected his claims that prison conditions rendered him irrational when pleading guilty. The judges ruled his arguments were "utterly devoid of merit" and found no evidence of coercion.
