Sorry Stephen

Stephen Franks has penned an opinion piece which for once I don't agree with.

He argues the Bain Trial should be called off as it is a bit pricy!

Admittedly he does make some other points with respect to the setting of unfortunate precedents for police or investigative practice, but I think these pale into insignificance compared to what is fundamentally at stake.

5 innocent people were brutally murdered.

The Crown clearly think it is obvious that David Bain is the offender (I thoroughly agree).

The Privy Council recommended a retrial.

To walk away now would condemn a long dead innocent man to a vile and murderous reputation he does not deserve, and establish a laissez faire precedent to the rigorous prosecution for murder.


Sorry Stephen, I am happy for my tax dollars to go to this prosecution rather than the purported $15 million plus for the Karam and Bain show, should a rouge verdict be returned.
