David on the Stand

So the defence argues that David Bain has said it all before and there is no need to take the stand.

What a weak and transparent rouse.

The defence are protecting Bain from examination of the incredibly weak, circumstantial and contradictory evidence from a few drug addled prostitutes about the obviously inconsistent stories that Laniet peddled.

What would the prosecution ask?

Firstly, why didn't David mention the (clearly fictitious) baby of Laniet?

Where is that Baby?

Surely Karam would have found the baby (now an adult) by now?

What did you call the family meeting about?

Why has your story of what happened on that morning changed immediately after the evidence against you was presented to your defence?

Why were you the only one to stay?

Bain would have to do one of two things.

Firstly deny any knowledge that his sister was pregnant, therefore blowing apart the long dead hearsay defence of his sisters "testimony"

Or....confirm these stories and face questions as to why he has NEVER alluded to these facts in any previous interviews or cross examinations.

The truly innocent would deal with these questions easily. The guilty would hide from them
