David Bain

There is no way to repay losing that much of your life. He might be starting a new life and new family, but he'll have to wait years before there's enough of them old enough to slaughter.

Unfortunately it's his innocence which is right in the middle of the table.

The Crown will only pay compensation IF Bain can prove himself innocent .. Crusher Collins did not believe he was innocent, which was why she refused to pay out and wriggled and squirmed to avoid paying out ..

So, are they still a scumbag if they are not guilty?

There's a massive double standard going on in this country. You only have to say you were the first inhabitants of this country & the govt hurl piles of cash at you without even checking the validity of your tale.

If I had a leather jacket made to the same pattern and colours and the jersey - would I get pulled over by the police more often?

If he gets anything I predict it will exceed a Million but be under three. A mill is chicken feed nowadays. One nice house, few vehicles, overseas trip, booze, drugs and hookers ........ you'd need a job to pay the rates within a year.

Mind you back in the day he had a paper round right? So maybe earned $20 a week tops? So $1,040 per year maybe ..... x 13 that's $13,520.

Throw in some inflation - heck it is Friday and I am feeling good so fuck it - he gets $500,000 absolute tops.

They wore skirts - Bain had a hideous jersey.

i was almost going to post it... i was, then i thought better of it.
obviously you didn't!

You need to calculate it allowing for the bags of chips he was deprive of while behind bars. Maybe 50 bags of chips? How many bags of chips does the average punter consume per year?

well, there's the average punter,

..then there's the average family-slaughtering, hooker-killin-buries them-under-the-caravan kind of guy.

those guys eat more chips.
plus inflation and shit, the cost of potatoes has gone up something chronic, not to mention fryin' oil, man's lucky if he'd get a half spud o chips for 3 buck! and that shiney packaging.... now that's a way to lure in them stoney teenage folk...
