David and Goliath

2007 reprint. Foxed.

It was a story that shocked New Zealand. In the early hours of 20 June 1994, five members of the Bain family were shot dead in their Dunedin home. Four days later David Bain, the sole surviving family member, was arrested and charged with their murder. A year later, he was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.
But the story does not end there. David Bain has always maintained his innocence, and gaps in the evidence used in court, and new evidence which has since come to light, support his claim. Yet he remains imprisoned for a crime he says he did not commit.
Convinced that David Bain had been the victim of an enormous injustice, Joe Karam began reading through the police case file himself. What he discovered make gripping reading.
