Frozen arse here, mates

Hilary, do you have any evidence at all that David Bain is Aspergers?
(One of my family is Asperger''s, and that has *never* been suggested in Otago citcles.) -
Hilary - again, NO evidence for that (David coming home & shooting Robin in self-defense.)
And, please, remember all Robin Bain's (and Margaret's) families are crying right now- -
PAS is balm to my mind- quirky, civilised discourse, and a helluva lot of info I'd never get elsewhere- thanks Pascinistas!

lilp - I know a great deal about language, including possible origins (which obviously includes fellow primates.)
Since your wordplay is banal, and your insights - well, ok for an idiot- I'll not respond to you again.

As a taxpayer, I regret the expeniture (and it's going to go on) but as someone who holds the rule of law in esteem, I'm glad it did.
Legbreak, there is no evidence whatsoever that Robin & David fought.
There is good evidence that Stephen & David did. -
Probably not Jackie - in fact, if he is well-advised, he will never say anything - except about his personal happiness- just now- ever again.
You see, there are an awful lot of wounded family members around- and they are nice ordinary lovely folk who- arnt happy.

I think the cops were quite careless in their initial scene investigation
(as in, too many police in there, coroner kept waiting etc. - James McNeish's "The Mask of Sanity" is -interesting - apropos this.) But there are *still* facts unanswered by the defence team on this retrial
(Stephen's blood of DB's clothes, handprint on washing machine etc. etc. etc.)Whether David Bain has blocked everything out, or not, he will live with the fact that I am not the only one who thinks he is guilty as charged. Not that I matter! But there are a considerable number of ANZers who will disagree with this verdict.
And I still do wish we had the Scots verdict of 'Not Proven' available...
-
I respectfully suggest a Bain thread might be appropriate...FTR, I totally disagree with the jury's verdict.
But really love the pseudo-Lhaws' column!
(I was sent a copy of "Dancing With Beelzebub": it is one of only 3 books I've refused to review.)
