STORY: "Report recommending Bain compensation is 'flawed'," by reporter Audrey Young, published by APNZ on December 13, 2012,
GIST: "Police do not accept Justice Ian Binnie's opinion that the police investigation into the Bain family murders contained egregious errors. Justice Minister Judith Collins today released the report written by Mr Binnie, a retired Supreme Court judge of Canada, and the highly critical peer review by former High Court judge Robert Fisher. Justice Binnie's report recommends Mr Bain be compensated, while Dr Fisher's says his report is flawed and would not withstand scrutiny.
Justice Binnie's report also says the "egregious errors" of the Dunedin police that led to the wrongful conviction means that compensation should be paid, but the police have defended their investigation."
