About fucking time this happened. Another sordid annal in the police prosecution saga. Another example of the police - "pin it on somebody at any cost," mentality!
Now, when is Peter Ellis going to get a fair hearing?

I was very interested in the comments made on the rock this morning (6.35am) when they had one of the chaps who works there, making a couple of comments.
This person actually was good friends with David Bain, and said he was an ordinary kid and who was not the reclusive, quiet personality that the media portrayed him as being.
The person was saying that a day or so before it all happened, David and a few other kids were around at his house recording some music or something, and they are all on a tape laughing and having a great time, as kids do.
Something slightly different from the persona that we saw courtesy of the media, when he was being led around in handcuffs.
Bloody glad the privy council heard this case. The "NZ Supreme Court" that replaces the PC will be a farce since the gubbinment will still influence their decisions.

David should be tried in court for crimes against fashion, remember those hideous woolly jerseys he wore at the first trial? Guilty!

yes....and because of there concern of public image....and public confedence I do doubt it will be totally honest from that angle...
But really can't see how he's going to get a fair trail in NZ!!! seriously...as MSTRS said...just about everyone in NZ will have a strong opinion of this case as its been so strongly covered in the media...from both angles...I dunno what my opinion of how it could be dealt with is?? but it will almost have to be trailed somewhere else?? england??
another 5 gazillion taxpayer's dollars down the toilet!
Who wins? The lawyers...all the way to the bank
REESE: YOU GOTTA LEARN TO DRIVE WITH THE FEAR.

REESE: THERE AIN'T NOTHING MORE FRIGHTENING THAN A LIVE COUGAR RICKY! CONTROL YOUR HEART RATE.
Where will we trail it to?
After the amount of time David Bain has spent behind bars, I doubt that there will be a retrial.
A serious compensation claim should be forthcoming however, for taking away years of his life (through dubious policework) that he will not get back.
This should really come out of the police budget though.

yeah....but we still don't know if he's inocent or guilty???
you can't just aquit someone based on the privy council saying there needs to be a retrial??? can you? they said there was a miscarriage of justice??
will adding more evidence make him innocent? the privy council did NOT say he was innocent...and I don't really think its there place in my opinion...
as you may have guess I'm not on either side of the innocent or guilty debate...I have always sat on the fence about this issuse and would love alot more full discloser of the case and hearings once its all done and dusted...
There will be a retrial, thats set in concrete..his lawyers have asked for bail which was to be expected. Having said that, this does not mean he is free to go just yet. Arther Allen Thomas was tried twice and found guilty twice...as it iturned out, for something he did not do. So Mr Bain cannot rest easy just yet, but one foot is certainly out the door
Prediction: The Crown will decide not to take a second trial against David Bain (he has already spent 13 years in jail), and he will be released next week with his conviction quashed.
