On top of creating the most discredited book in NZ History, David and Goliath (what other book has resulted in a 100 page Police Complaints Report outlining all its shortcomings?), Joe Karam can now take the trophy for most discredited retrial verdict. Since the retrial we have had Bryan Bruce's documentary The Case Against Robin Bain and the Laws-Karam debate, not to mention the Justice for Robin Bain group and the counterspin site.
Dear oh dear Kent are you so one eyed that you can't recognise that the PCA report is obsolete, and that Joe's book has resulted in part in seeing one of NZ's greatest travesties of Justice corrected?
While I am not one to question the merit of the retrial verdict, Joe Karam would be the first one to admit that sometimes juries get it wrong, and in this case there are a number of high profile people prepared to voice opinions that would seem to support this scenario. So far the score in the Bain case is 1-1; one guilty verdict and one not guilty verdict. While in law only one counts, it would seem that the best of three might be a fairer contest. Next time round maybe the pro-Robin Bain supporters might be inclined to break sub judice rules and publish their side of the case to even up the media contest so that it isn't all one sided as it was in the years running up to the retrial.
Sorry Kent the score as you put it is 1 to 0 because a Miscarriage of Justice doesn't count as a trial. Please don't pretend that you are not one to question the merit of a retrial verdict because that is all you've done for over a year. Get a life and get over yourself. You were wrong, simply you are a loser despite all your sub-judice efforts and deciet.
Just as Karam was allowed to question the initial trial verdict, so are people allowed to question the retrial verdict and they have and they will continue to do so. Just as the first verdict did not stop Karam from promoting his belief that the verdict was wrong, then the second verdict is not going to miraculously stop people from promoting their belief that the retrial verdict was wrong. Karam cannot expect people to shut up simply because of a verdict in a court of law. He didn't do that and nor will other people. Similarly Karam cannot expect an automatic handout from us, the taxpayer, because he believes that the not guilty verdict is tantamount to proving innocence. He knows that not to be true as does everyone else with any knowledge of the legal system.
Yes Kent you are right. People are entitled to question any verdict. But what they are not entitled to do is (as you have promoted) to stalk Jurors, witnesses, people who don't agree with you, fabricate lies and propaganda, attack incessantly the Justice System, threaten people, distribute the Trial MS and also Act In Contempt of Court in a number of other ways. You're a hate-siter Kent, you may have fooled some people in the beginning but you are simply a hate-siter, and, unfortunately for you, one that faces hundreds of charges of Defamation in the Auckland High Court and somebody who is under investigation on more serious matters. Face reality Kent.
As I write this post, the compensation process is stewing slowly along. Karam should understand that the outcome is pretty much predetermined but he continues with what most consider to be a futile pursuit. He does so probably because he has previously succeeded where others have said he wouldn't. The only reason he has succeeded is because of public opinion. Public opinion is a fickle beast. Karam would be much better positioned if he had truth rather than public opinion on his side. He himself has said many times that ultimately truth has its day, the only mistake he makes there is his judgment of when that day arrives. It will be interesting to see his reaction should the day ever arrive in which truth and public opinion coincide.
Kent, you have no idea of what is happening with the compensation process, the only think stewing along slowly is your torpid half-sized brain. You have no idea of what Karam should know because he is so much smarter than you and doesn't promote hate or injustice. You're a sick puppy Kent, a pedo supporter.
But you are right about public opinion being a 'fickle beast.' You had your opportunity to promote your position with logic and reason, because you chose not to public opinion has turned against you forever.
Speaking of watching reactions, I'm looking forward to watching yours when you stand in the dock at the Auckland High Court, noted for all time as a defamer, bigot, liar and persecutor. That'll be fun Kenty, that will really be fun.

The 'fickle beast' has started to turn. At first many were enthralled by the conspiracy, but evently they started to see holes in it, and especially when the promoters were put under scrutiny, and didn't pass the grade.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, if Kent had kept his supporters in line, presented a well balanced and non-confrontational front to their counterspin, they might have kept the momentum going, as there is always some sucker for a great plot.
Instead anyone questioning the JFRB facts are attacked. And it doesn't stop there, they are then pursued, ridiculed, denigrated and made to 'shut up' by a multi pronged attack from members of the JFRB team.
The repetitive nature of the their argument, has allowed their audience to get bored with the message. Whilst there are people who agree with the principles, the agreesive behaviour of the JFRB group, has meant many of those, wouldbe supporters, now wnat to distance themselves.
The sad face of JFRB exists of a few members with multiple id's, repeating their same worn out song.
It appears that Mr Parker reads this blog, and that it has inspired him to blog on the same comment by the solicitor general. Only, inevitably in Kent's case, his target is yet again Joe Karam. How can he even pretend to be campaigning for some strange version of 'Justice', when the personal vendetta he wages against Karam is so clear? It's pathetic and childish.
