will they release bain?
bain will make his first public appearance this afternoon, five days after winning his last-chance appeal to the privy council that he had been a victim of a miscarriage of justice. the crown is expected to ask for the hearing to be deferred and for bain to remain in jail in the meantime, but bain's key supporter, former all black joe karam, said an immediate release would be sought. karam has collected about a dozen testimonials supporting bain's bid for freedom, involving those inside and outside jail, as well as professionals and acquaintances.
"he's a very dignified person – david. he's trying not to get his hopes up (but) he just can't wait," he said. "i can't see any good reason under the bail act, which i've read, which would prevent david from getting bail. he's prepared for the worst and hoping for the best."
"of course if your a kiwi and you've been following how the 'born to rule' run this country, you'd have to be concerned. the prosecutor still wants him to remain in jail, even though his conviction has been quashed. i'd be looking at why it was quashed."
