Finally, some proof that our justice system works.
With the exception of David Bain no one will ever know the full truth of what happened all those years ago, but todays outcome is the only one that makes sense.
Quite simily the Police botched the original investigation, destroyed evidence and in general did not act in a very professional manner.
That introduces doubt and that is the outcome today, doubt.
Fantastic, well done, members of the jury.
A man charged over the theft of items from a Canadian family staying at an Auckland hotel has been granted bail.Peter Malcolm Black, 42, who has the same surname as the Canadian family, was bailed to a South Auckland address when he appeared in the Auckland District Court yesterday.

This move seriously weakens my trust in the New Zealand justice system. Earlier in the week we have 6 Police Officers turn up to stop a parent from flicking his son on the ear once. But, on the other hand, we have a serious fraudster who brought disgrace to this country being bailed.
This isn’t the only serious criminal granted bail yesterday.

The 16-year-old appeared in the Youth Court and was granted bail.
A 16 year old who was a part of a gang of four who violently beat 4 adults is also granted bail. What is this country coming to? Do you have to be a violent offender in order to be free? Are the police to afraid to deal with serious crime? Something needs to be done here.
