To: Minister for Justice, Honourable Simon Power We, the undersigned, are petitioning you as Minister for Justice to deny David Bain's application for compensation for the time he spent imprisoned for the murder convictions of his five family members in Dunedin, 1994. We believe that despite his recent acquittal and the implied reasonable doubt as to his guilt arising from that trial, the evidence points to David Bain being responsible for these murders.

The feedback I am reading in the comments proves that this case is far from settled for the public. Email the Minister for Justice today and demand he refuse any compensation for this application. Keep the pressure on our officials so they understand how this decision impacts our community.

I believe the person using this model of .22 rifle needed to have confidence in the rifles performance ,the weapons sound suppressor,its sub sonic ammunition,its reliability for semi automatic action and expert knowledge of the magazine and its functions.Mr Robin Bain would not in my opinion have had the necessary practice,knowledge and confidence to have used this weapon in the murder of his family members during the night.

Everything about that house that morning screams he did it. The way the rifle was handled and the timing is all too convenient for him to be innocent.

My heart still breaks for those poor kids. Paying him blood money is just wrong he ruined 5 lives and they arent here to tell their side.

Justice for the victims not the survivor. Keep the money in the public purse.

The evidence against him was solid the first time around. Just because he managed to drag it out for years doesnt mean he should get paid by the taxpayers.
