BAIN AND BEYOND Cops, Courts and Criminal Justice

Paperback. In 1997 the author's book 'David and Goliath' created huge public interest in the David Bain case. Little did he suspect that his involvement in this case and the publication of the book would draw him into the minefield that is the New Zealand justice system. Like most New Zealanders, the author believed that all citizens would be treated fairly and equally under the law, and that the system was essentially just and fair. What he discovered in fact was a labyrinth of politics, personal egos and a court system almost designed to thwart justice. This book looks at what the Bain case uncovered and goes on to look at other cases in New Zealand, casting strong doubts on the workings of the criminal justice system in the country. With Epilogue and Appendices. 277pp. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
