David Bain

[neels]

I'll go with the good old kiwi yeah nah

In the Arthur Allen Thomas case, it was proved he was unjustly imprisoned because it was proved that the police planted evidence to convict him, so therefore he should have never been there in the first place.

In David Bain's case, there is no such proof, just a bunch of overpaid lawyers hearing part of the evidence who think it was a bit iffy, so it should start again. The jury at the time thought he was guilty, some people later thought he wasn't, no shenanigans of any sort just a difference of opinion after a considerable period of time.

So hasn't it been proved he was wrongly convicted, he was just subsequently not convicted on the basis of the same evidence with a different opinion at the end, therefore there is no need for compensation/

Having said that, I hope he did do it, 'cause I'd be mightily fucked off if someone nicked 13 years of my life when I'd done nothing wrong.

Something else everyone seems to forget in this & the Lundy case. If these guys are innocent, as well as having their asses wrongfully chucked in prison, they are also grieving for the family they lost. But that doesn't even seem to cross most peoples minds.
Imagine if your entire family was wiped out, how would you feel even without being wrongly imprisoned for it.

He committed hideous crimes against fashion wearing THAT jersey. The 13 odd years in lock up should be considered fair punishment for his fashion crime which would have run concurrently with the murder sentence. So it all balances out in the end.

it was a popo's jersey. they set him up

There ya go, what's all the fuss, clearly he's guilty based on what you have said there.

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.

You dick. You made me LOL on the train! That's punishable by death where I come from.

AND the likelihood that the real murderers are still out there free .. (Unless it really was Robin Bain ... then there's only one murderer out there free ..)

Once he has been paid out - he can confess that he did it and sit back and enjoy the taxpayers money at his leisure - the perfect crime! Give him five!

Hardy the perfect crime, he's already done quite a strech inside, but once again, Kangaroo court finds him guilty.
Dpex off here was facing a lag for kiddy fiddling, his yacht was found abandoned doing circles in the South Pacific, he is presumed lost at sea.
Thats the perfect crime (less the kiddy fiddling of course)
