Bain gets a retrial

[Mully]

Oh well, I guess we'll find out one way or the other in a few months.

Nightline has just announced the cost is expected to be $10 million. Plus any compo if he is aquitted.

I thought the extended family (Aunties, and the like) had the house burnt down by the fire department and sold the land. I understand there are apartments or a big house there now.

I believe they inherited as next of kin, cos David was in jail. And I heard they have nothing to do with him now.

Anyway, if Bain is found Not Guilty at this trial, does he have a claim on the estate on his parents?? Potentially, could he end up asking the government for compo for that too?? Or can he sue the family to recover the cash??

Any actual lawyers here??

He'll make a bundle one way or the other. Karam's lost his entire fortune over this. It's cost Karem heaps.

Yeah, I know. I just think it would be funny if he got a big settlement from the government, sorted Karam out and went his rellies for his share of the estate.

Oh how I would giggle. And chuckle.

Y'know the longer this goes on the more he impresses me as he is capable of doing it.

Cool, cold and calculating, his theatrics in the beginning are starting to make sense now just like that guy Lundy! ( they were both in the theatrical fraternity)

I am beginning to feel sorry for Joe Karam, I think he has been sucked in!

Evidence? Not a scrap, just a hunch, you know the old gut feeling!

I think he is going to pull it off too.

Bugger being tried by jury in this country though! Been there seen that! John.

I'm certainley not convinced either way,on this basis would be hard to find an impartial jury is my thoughts or else get a young jury.The big thing is why would he do it if it was his dad,surely kill him for what he was accused of and plead his case with her testomony in court,don't wipe out his best alibi by killing her.My thoughts lean to him doing it and Karam was taken for a voice to give credibility,much like Bull Allen has been used by the Tamatis' church/revenue gathering machine.

Skyyrder

Karem's made heaps out of this already through book sales etc. Being the mercenary he is (first rugby/league convert) he dosn't do anything unless theres a buck in it for him.

[Skyryder]

I wonder if he's still got that red cardy.

He'd make a bomb on Trademe. Either way.

Yea my gut instinct says the same. But if there is doubt he should be off.
At he end of the day there comes the last one...........then the bullshitting stops.

This is becoming an extremely interesting trial.
Very interesting indeed...

[Winston001]

Lots and lots of detail coming out but you really have to wonder at the Crown's chances of getting a conviction after 12 years have passed.

I see the blood-stained hand print on the washing machine has been mentioned. This was revealed by luminol and Bain's supporters say that laundry-powder will also show up under luminol. It will be interesting to see the attack on scientific evidence.

Pretty good I should say.

David's story is so full of holes and inconsistencies you could sail the Queen Mary through them.

I don't envy the jury though...

well you could if the Queen Mary was a sailboat, and not tied up in dock in Santa Monica

[HenryDorsetCase]

My prediction is he will walk, th QC's will raise (barely) credible "reasonable doubt" and he will waltz.

then to reappear in Dancing with the Stars next year.
