Bain, what's the answer going to be?

[MattRSK]

I'm a bit disappointed none of his family was there to support him.

Haha now that is brilliant!

[Fatt Max]

Has anyone asked the guy in the court who kept passing the gun around? I mean, he seemed to know the workings of a gun, when anyone wanted to look at it he gave it to them and then he took it away each night. Fuck me, have IQ's gone seriously south lately....?

I mean, the gun was obviously his so he must have done it....jeez, have I solved the case or what?

Oh, and any idea when I can expect to get my red grape crushing socks back, its picking season soon.

For a person to say, "not guilty, is far from innocent", is very disturbing to me.

Does anyone here actually understand the statement, "innocent untill PROVEN guilty"? Consider the sheer magnitude of that statement for a moment. It is what the justice system is built on, and is the very reason you get to enjoy some freedoms so flipantly taken for granted.

A finding of not guilty should mean, that one cannot have the accusation held against them, but that aint the world we live in, so he should get compensation, since the guy will be looked at sideways the rest of his life. How could he get a decent job like that?

I dont know the facts of the case, VERY few people do, but to suggest things about the prosecution, or David Bain is cowerdly, and just plain bullshit.

So on that theory, no-one should be denied bail.

And the only one who REALLY knows, is bain himself.

I doubt that he'll get compo - does everyone who gets found not guilty get it? would you be happy with a patched gang member being found not guilty getting compo for his trouble?

[Creeping Death]

If they did he was a lazy cunt,place was a mess.

Ooooohhh snapped!Lol!

[Deano]

This should be on comedy central. Keep up the good work.

[chucky19]

Quite right. But playing fast and loose with evidence is a no-no. And that happens too often. Wilful tampering or otherwise, it happened in this case too.

And I'm sure that you could come up with evidence to support this statement.

Fingerprints?? Fibres?? Blood??

Doesn't seem to matter how much you come up with, just get a high profile supporter, a good defence liar and you can get away with murder (or 5).

He won't get compo because to do so he would have to prove his innocence, and that may mean facing the evidence that wasn't allowed to be given at trial.

Don't forget twotyres mate.

Stitched up, ya reckon?

Confused id say,Grandma Bain must have been fucking colour blind.

Errr, if you're referring to David Bain's case evidence was tampered with in situ ,and a large chunk of it was thrown away in 1995.

Forgive me for being thick, but Not Guilty is about as good a reference for innocence as you'll get out of the court system.

[Pedrostt500]

David Bain didn't do it! Well, who did?

I hope it doesn't all just fade away now, five people are still dead!

If the Crown are so sure that Robin didn't do it and the jury say David didn't do it, SOME ONE DID?

The crown have been known to get it wrong in the past, Arthur Allen Tomas springs to mind.
Now alot of the times the crown gets it right, yes I still have faith in our justice system, it is not a perfect system but it is the one we have.
What we have to be careful of in these cases is trial by News Media.

You're forgiven

[ajturbo]

shame his family wasn't there to support him...

[Oakie]

The verdict leaves me uncomfortable.

I agree that the defence did a good job in demonstrating reasonable doubt.
I agree that with the prosecution being unable to prove beyond doubt that he did it ... he had to walk free.

Did I mention that my cousin was involved in Bain's legal defense in the very early stages? Yes. I feel uncomfortable about him walking free.

OK. Moving on now. He's free. I hope he has a good life and is allowed to contribute to society somehow and that not too many people jump on his coat-tails to make money or get publicity for themselves.
