Breaker Morant Of the three defendants George Witton is the only one who is not guilty
In Breaker Morant the three defendants, Harry Morant, Peter Handcock and George Witton, are "normal men" who were placed in "abnormal circumstances" where they were required to kill the Boers. However, as Morant reflects upon this "new kind of war" he tells George that its the first time the "enemy are not in uniform", theyre women and children and farmers and sometimes Missionaries. ... It is for this reason that the killing of the Boer prisoners and the Reverend Hesse by the defendants is not classified as murder, but simply as ‘doing their job’.
