- Description
Justice Minister Judith Collins points at an image of David Bain and says, 'Because every adult in NZ has an opinion on this case the only fair way to establish David Bain's guilt or innocence is to conduct a referendum...' Context: Former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Ian Binnie was asked to investigate a compensation claim made by New Zealander David Bain, who spent 13 years in prison for murdering his family - but was eventually acquitted in a retrial. After a 12 month investigation, Binnie concluded that original police investigation was incompetent, declared Bain to be innocent on the 'balance of probabilities' and recommended he should be paid compensation. Justice Minister Judith Collins rejected the findings of the report, saying it lacked robust reasoning and showed a misunderstanding New Zealand law.
