    Bain was acquitted on the basis of reasonable doubt. Not surprising given the years of publicity before the trial and 13 weeks of evidence. All the defence had to do was introduce enough experts to confuse the jurors and bingo = reasonable doubt.

    What bothers me is two jurors going to his celebration party afterwards. What if he'd been convicted and jurors had gone to the prosecutors party....? We'd be screaming bias.

    A very good article from Sir Bob Jones on the whole situation.

    Rather interesting that the canadian judge sees the compensation issue as viable.

    As you grow older keep in mind the fact that Robin Bain was supposed to have had a full bladder at post mortem! (Don't hear much about this now!)

    I do not believe a man over 50 could do all that on a full bladder!

    As said above, you will understand the significance of this factor as you grow older!

    Robin Bain was a somewhat frail man in his senior years!

    The more I see of David Bain, the more convinced I am of his guilt and there are still "five" unexplained murders outstanding in Dunedin!

    Has Justice been done in this case? Is it clear and beyond all reasonable doubt that David Bain is not guilty? Should he be paid compensation?

    IMHO - NO!

    Mind you - if someone in the family was sitting on the dunny reading while said 50 year old mans bladder was bursting it could provide a motive to commit murder....

    It is also not clear and beyond reasonable doubt that he did it either ... It's just goingto be one of those unsolved murder mysteries ... we will never know ...

    True! It's the compensation that I am saying no too!

    Being over 50 I know what you mean about the bladder but you will also know;
    1. how quickly it can fill, actually the Mrs had a case of this with an ultra sound where she was sent out to, and did completely empty it but it was half fill when the radiographer put the thing on
    2. That when you really have to do something you can delay for quite some time, not easy nor without risk IYKWIM but if it was him and he was planning not to care any more then what the heck.
    3. Also not convinced that Robyn was the only possible other but of course the defence didn't have to prove who, just show that it could have been another and Robyn was an easy target.



    agreed there are still 5 unexplained murders in Dunedin.

    It wasn't proven beyond reasonable doubt either way however innocence doesn't have to be proven beyond doubt, thankfully, in criminal law.

    As to the compensation, there was a miscarriage of justice, this is aside from the innocence/guilt thing, and as they failed to prove guilt at the end of all the mishandling and he has suffered without his guilt having been proven then he has been wronged. Also the compensation comes under civil law where the bar is the preponderance of evidence, if he is 50.x% more likely innocent than guilty then he gets the money. The same rule that found OJ guilty in a civil court but not a criminal one and if they can't prove David 50.x% more likely to be guilty than innocent then why the fuck did they refuse to face this fact for so long and how come the supposedly beyond reasonable doubt criminal system locked him up and our appeal system refused him redress via appeal for so long?

    If neither David or Robyn (sp?) did it, why have the Police put the case aside?

    Who did it still has to be resolved and like rust, the Police should never rest ... it's what they do FFS!

    Eventually the truth will come out. The Police don't forget, and if someone can come up with something convincing they will investigate it.

    Meh, I'm well over 50 and often I suddenly realise at about 8:30 in the morning I haven't had a pee yet - I get so engrosed in whatever I'm doing that I simply 'forget'!

    So I thought that line of explanation why Robin Bain 'couldn't have' by the prosecution a tad spurious...
