David Bain's "I shot the Prick" 111 call?

He didn't. Download the tape of the conversation and listen to it. Carefully.

I wonder what he was going to say before he was interupted.
Perhaps..'them all'.

I just think that those who celebrate Karam could find far better specimens to put on pedestals if they have such a need. But never mind me - I also think the same re Edmund Hilary...... But heros to me are everyday people who don't seek the limelight

KB - what a place - from Bain to Hillary.

Ed Hillary deserves the admiration and respect this nation accords him. He was a humble man who couldn't believe his good fortune. For example in his 70s he still spoke with wonder about finding himself at a dinner sitting next to the Queen Mother and she was genuinely interested in him. An ordinary bloke for New Zealand. It never seemed quite real.

This man spent his life raising money for schools, bridges etc in Nepal and helping people. He never sought the limelight except to gain support for projects.

Isn't it wonderful that the prisons are being built with underfloor heating? And that each cell costs more to build than a hotel room? Are those bars REALLY expensive?

I've always found bars to be really expensive. Even with my VIP card!

I don't want to resurrect olde ground but there is a piece in today's Chch Press on the Bain case. For those that belive Bain is innocent (or guilty) it's worth a read. Not much there that has not been said but it's nice 'concise' piece of writing that puts Bains trial in its true perspecitive.

PLENTY OF DOUBT-IN BAIN JURY'S VERDICT by Martin Van Beynen

Christchurch Press June 20 2009 A17


It's a dissection on the jury as the title shows.

Now read. A well compiled and thought-provoking piece.

Dr Philip Rose (I can't) is not as convincing as Clare Werbeloff. (Chk chk Boom)
Perhaps he's not really Australian.

The more (indisputable?) facts (evidence from the trials) I read and the more I see of David Bain, the more I believe he did it.

That article almost lines up with my own thoughts and "feelings" about the whole sordid affair.

I was once guilty of wanting the death penalty to be reintroduced but that was vindictive frustration with the types being released out into the community!

New Zealand Law and order, Justice and corrections will need an extensive makeover and "sooner" rather than "later" before I could ever support the death penalty for any crime in this country!
