David and Goliath: The Bain Family Murders (2007 Reprint) by Joe Karam

An advocate examines a controversial New Zealand prosecution

Good Condition - with surface scuffs and small cover marks, light edge rubbing, corner creases and slight front-cover curl.

Joe Karam sets out his examination of the investigation and prosecution following the deaths of five members of the Bain family in Dunedin in 1994. Working through the case material, he questions aspects of the evidence and explains why he believed David Bain's original conviction should not stand. The book combines a narrative of the case with detailed argument, photographs, diagrams and supporting appendices, presenting the perspective that helped drive Karam's public campaign. This 2007 reprint includes a new preface written after the Privy Council quashed the convictions and belongs to that stage of the case's history. It offers readers an extended account of Karam's concerns and the reasoning behind his involvement. Contains explicit photographs.
