David Bain vs The Crown - game over

[Edbear]

I have, but was referring to why Robin didn't have any blood on him, which Ed proposed. Not whether its plausible that David came straight home and did the washing. That, in my mind, is completely feasible after doing a paper run.

It is important to read the court papers carefully. The document I posted was from the Privy Council and covers everything very thoroughly. It is reading through that that convinces me of Robin's innocence and David's guilt. Prior to reading that I thought David was guilty but was prepared to be persuaded otherwise. Now I have no doubt at all.

That's funny Ed, I read the same document and became convinced that there was no actual proof of David's guilt.

Just proves everything I have said about you, that's all.

Maybe that's simply due to your preconceived prejudices.

Well the second jury clearly thought otherwise Ed.

I've already posted what one juror thought - and she wasn't alone.

Big difference from not guilty to innocent.

For example, just look at the number of pissed drivers who get off on a technicallity (and some of these technicalities are appalling).
They were pissed (over the legal limit), driving a vehicle and on a legal road.

So while they 'got off' (found not guilty) they weren't innocent.

I don't think David had been drinking.

Nor driving

But he HAD been on a road!!

Which is why David Bain has yet to be paid out (compensated) it's increasingly likely that, that wont ever happen. You can keep on arguing your thoughts and voicing an opinion, fact is, four years after Bain was released from prison, he is still an out of work paper boy with an over anxious besty that wants recompense. A good story line for Shortland Street.

But David Bain didn't get off on a technicality though, did he?

If he wasnt guilty then fuck him send the cunt a bill for all those years bed n breakfast.

Yeah, been a few of your crew guilty of that, hasn't there?

You seem to make it sound wrong somehow - tis' the law you know, open for everybody to abuse.

(And I guess YOU too can get some sort of 'perk' from your job just be the knowledge you have???)

[Edbear]

But David Bain didn't get off on a technicality though, did he?

The reason was that the Prosecution had omitted to say that the "technicalities" put forward by the Defense were possible and could have persuaded the jury differently. He was found not guilty on the jury considering said technicalities raised enough of a question to make the Prosecution case as not meeting the standard.

So he did get off on a technicality and I personally, after reviewing all the evidence on both sides, believe the jury was far too lenient on what is pure conjecture as against factual evidence. As has been noted several times, the jurors, despite that, did not consider David innocent.

"Technicality" is just another way of saying "popo not doing their job properly", innit?

Yes, sometimes, so?
