The paper run story while at High School. The three witnesses
on 60 minutes who were never seen or heard. All the hearsay,
that was heard. Would you like to sit on a murder trial in
this country in a jury, as it stands at this time? I
wouldn't.

Young males are known for saying a lot of dumb things and for
making up outrageous schemes. How many of males have not
plotted ways to see naked women, or talked about revenge
scenarios on their nemesis of the day (a work colleague,
partner, or school bully)? Some young males (I am told)
engage in fantasies of bondage, or even blasting away their
own human enemies with machine guns or bombs. Doesn't
necessarily mean they would ever do it. Just another
perspective on that subject.
I am at a loss as to why this was suppressed. This evidence
seems to be factual, yet evidence given by the defence which
be-smirched the dead members of the family, who could , of
course, not defend themselves, was allowed , and at best was
hearsay. The murdered family have had the final indignity of
their reputations questioned without defence.

Surely, in a trial such as that of David Bain, the jury was
entitled to hear the totality of the evidence, not just the
bits which it suited the 'agendas' of the various counsel to
be heard.
