Justin Bieber, Murder Plot: Mastermind Reveals Motive

An alleged plot to kill and castrate Justin Bieber was revealed last year, shocking the entertainment world.

Details spoke with Dana Martin, the mastermind behind the plan, who is currently serving a life sentence for killing a 15-year-old female. Martin, along with Mark Staake and Tanner Ruane, were charged with multiple counts of first-degree conspiracy to commit murder in the Bieber case. Martin has admitted to plotting to kill and dismember the pop star, his bodyguard and two Vermont residents.

The gruesome plan immediately begs one question -- why Bieber?

"It isn't just so people will know who I am," Martin told Details. "It's because he changed, and that made me angry."

Martin claims Bieber's evolution into a more urban, adult artist is phony. After persistently writing letters to the teen -- both directly and through Ellen DeGeneres -- and not receiving a response, Martin made the decision to kidnap and kill Bieber.

"Fame I don't really care about," Martin explained. "Wanting to be remembered for posterity, that is what is important to me."

The felon also wanted special access to the singer -- as a friend -- something his life behind bars prohibited.

"Anybody on the streets, all these girls that are his fans, can look at Bieber anytime they want to on their cell phones, they can read anything they want, they can tweet him, they know where he's going to be, they can go see him-just buy tickets and walk in," he said. "I can't do that."

Even though his plan was foiled, and Staake and Ruane are maintaining their innocence, Martin claims to have more hit men trying to realize his goal. Simply put, in Martin's own words, "It's still on."

" ... This isn't going away. Do you really think that I would stop?" he said. "Honestly? I tell people I'm not going to stop. And I'm not gonna stop. So if you're Justin Bieber, wouldn't you want to, like, do something to make this go away? ... Until something bad actually happens to him, they are going to treat it as 'Oh, Martin's just crazy, he doesn't have nobody.' I was kinda hoping that with what I did, it would show them."

According to the felon, there is something Bieber can do to end the murder plots. The singer or his manager, Scooter Braun, would have to meet with Martin.

"I've written to the district attorney saying that I'll plead guilty, I'll even testify against my two partners -- I just want to have a sit-down with Justin Bieber ... they just won't do it," Martin says. "To them that's just bizarre."

I don't pay much attention to young performers, but 2 or 3 you can't miss, and Justin Bieber is one. When he first became well known, I couldn't understand what the appeal was to other kids. But since he has gotten older and is finally wearing a decent haircut, I can say that he looks better, but that's all. As for Dana Martin and his fellow rubes, you messed up your life when you committed murder. You're obviously psychologically unbalanced, but trying to make a celebrity your friend will never work. Do you really think he has time to go through the thousands of letters he receives every day? No, which is why he has staff to do it for him. It's too late for you, but the best way to make a celebrity notice you is to ignore them.

I don't know if your talking about bieber or the dude in prison when you say mental case lol. I do not see what these teen girls see in this kid. He has turned into a egotistical a&&. Ever since his girlfriend left him he has been so much worse thinking he is all that and mooning people and I think he was very mean when he called sherry springfield ugly I think that is her name on the view. There was no reason even to talk about the view or her. The question wasn't even about her and he says that. What a impolite brat! first off she isn't ugly. Some men would not like her weight I suppose but she isn't ugly. He isn't the beatles, he is not elvis, why are people crying over this little snubbish boy?

Why bother about what this convicted felon has to say about Bieber? He's just one of a long list of people who will and have died in prison.All I can say now for Martin is to get a life, he he as if that wasn't too late.

Bieber rocks

He'll be gone in a few years, just another has-been. There's always someone better just around the corner and hopefully, the next one won't be a snotty, rude, spoiled brat!

This guy is a mental case. I wouldn't meet with him either. Keep him locked up until he is too old or medicated to hurt anyone.
