Refers to the departure of David Bain who was found guilty of the murders of his parents and three siblings in 1995. Bain served 13 years of a life sentence before successfully appealing his original convictions to the Privy Council in May 2007. Finding there had been a substantial miscarriage of justice, the Privy Council quashed his convictions and ordered a retrial. He was bailed pending the retrial which began in Christchurch on 6 March 2009 and ended 5 June 2009 with his acquittal on all charges. There is a play on the title of the novel 'Innocents abroad' by Mark Twain.
