This is an example of something that has puzzled me over the ongoing smear campaign against David Bain and Joe Karam, and anyone else who supports David Bain. The sheer ignorant arrogance of the people involved is extraordinary: they seem to think that from the limited sources they are using, they can formulate and promulgate an extremely unpleasant and unfounded stance, intentionally damaging people's reputations in the process.

I totally agree, and that it comes from the founder of a hate-site devalues any credibility that Counterspin and Justice for Robin Bain (sic) have. The reputation of Kent Parker and others, now lives and dies by this stand they have taken that Justice is to be decided away from The Courts and on the basis of rumour and prejudice. Away with the rumour mongers, away with their lies and deceit.

This continued spin of the facts redefines the passage and borders of this case now and into the future. I say that because this aftermath is unprecedented and unwelcome, it was bad enough that it was occurring before and during the trial but that it continues now is irreconcilable in a law-abiding democracy. I see this intentional damage to others by way of lies or sheer ignorance forming a new frontier for the safety and sanctity of the Justice System into the future. I align it with the other unresolved issue as to why a victim of a miscarriage of Justice is reduced by Executive Powers to have to make out his or her case again under the civil law to gain remedy for being falsely imprisoned. Justice must prevail above hate-campaigns and lies and Justice must be seen to be done, not waiting idly when it has been led astray, but firming and aligning itself with Justice for all men and women whatever might have befallen them and whatever their situation in life might have been before injustice was meted out to them.

    Buddha said: "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

    A more open Justice system, willing to acknowledge and repair its mistakes would be 'conducive to the good and benefit of one and all', wouldn't it?
