A little predictably some of the hate-siters moved from their closed sites onto the new site opened by Kylee Guy. One could imagine they took with themselves a feeling of importance as after they were part of the mob that has persecuted David Bain for years. Part of the mob that saw at least 3 on line sites get sued. There one-eyed view would be more of feeling 'victimised' for 'speaking their minds' and for being 'right thinking nzers' comfortable with the idea that it is fine to lie about others as long as the cause is just, no doubt they thought that hate was a vital asset, and needed, by Kylee's need site.
It didn't take long Lynda Dick to proclaim her signature 'guilty' and her equally sick 'friend' Maryanne Newtown to agree. Annette Curran happened along expressing love and if you ever saw her face you'd realise that love has not been part of her life for a very long time, if ever. Of course her secret site is called 'Guilty' and the two witches Dick and Newton are adherents of the hate faith. So good to see their comments gone and at least them having an early wake-up call that they won't be getting away with having other sites sued before trying to simply walk away.
The Ewen MacDonald trial has been unusual in many aspects, notably for the focus on some of the witnesses distress as they gave evidence, not once but many times. Veteran journalist has commented on that in today's East and Bays Courier noting that it is a disturbing trend. Of course a site which seeks donations is also a little unorthodox, particularly because it is set up by one of the benefactors, who, as it also happens, and taken another unusual step and retained a Media Representative, the ex All Black Andy Haden.
Additionally I read that Garth McVicar who earlier this week made a declaration that he wanted to, or would, 'review' the police file. He's backed away from that now, suggesting that he might hire private detectives, so we could be soon seeing Bryan Bruce applying for funding for another smoke and mirrors tv show. Where all this leads is difficult to say. One thing which seems apparent, at least for now, is that defamation will not be a tool employed by the Kylee Guy site, either because of the known recent history of law suits that have followed elsewhere, or purely from general propriety on her part or that of her advisers. I note there is talk of her perhaps 'selling her story' and of course no magazine will want to be associated with potential litigation.
At least, in the meantime, the hate-siters and their cancerous bile have been shown the door and that's got to be good for everybody. I recall not a few lawyers and a defamation expert Ursula Cheer saying that anybody alleging unlawful status against a person acquitted of a crime had a big hurdle to overcome because of the not guilty verdict and it seems that message has been heard, if not by the hate-siters, then by normal members of society who observe the law.
