STORY: "Second review planned into David Bain's compo bid," published on January 23, 2013, by ONE News.
GIST: "Prime Minister John Key has confirmed a second peer review into David Bain's application for compensation for wrongful conviction and imprisonment will "most probably" happen. The cabinet has been updated on possible options for settling David Bain's claim but a final recommendation is not expected until the Cabinet meets in February. Key said another report is likely to happen after an initial report commissioned by a Canadian judge was heavily criticised by the Government last year. The report was supposed to remain confidential until Cabinet had made a final decision into the compensation claim, but it was released to the public......... He (Bain) was convicted in 1995 of murdering five members of his family in Dunedin. In 2007, the Privy Council quashed his convictions on the grounds of a substantial miscarriage of justice and ordered a retrial. A jury acquitted him in June 2009 after almost 13 years in prison."
