What the jury wasn't told

In August 2009, I was convicted of manslaughter of my foster daughter. Here's a little of what the jury wasn't told: The police initially laid a charge of assault and withdrew that because the 'evidence' did not support it' and there was 'no suspicious circumstances". You can check out a story in the Bay of Plenty Times of 29 April 2006, titled "Bay foster carer cleared of assault". It was decided after a meeting that was never disclosed to defence, with Dr’s K, crown specialist paediatrician, Mr B, neurosurgeon and Dr S, crown forensic neuropathologist in attendance that the charge would be withdrawn. Those doctors then and the police, had substantial doubt, but the jury did not have reasonable doubt. The police in their excuse to re-arrest me at the end of 2006 when I happened to be enquiring as to how Melissa was treated, or should I say NOT treated, and a coroners inquest was about to be held, said they had new evidence. I was given none at my murder arrest interview, but finally over a year later a written statement from Mr B was given to my lawyer as the 'new evidence'. He stated he did a craniotomy and removed a clot. Of course this was known to police in the early hours of 5 Jan 2006. What was new was that he said he did not remove a prior clot in the same spot, when he’d written the opposite prior to this and many other documents support that and that the subdural haemorrhage was a re-bleed. Re-bleeds require minimal force. Dr K had already said extreme violence was used prior to them withdrawing the assault charge, but at that stage he was disregarded. Police documents refer to minimal force being required for such a large subdural haemorrhage because the prior one re-bled, upon withdrawing the first charge. It was decided to re-charge me with murder after another meeting also never disclosed to defence, with the same doctors present. Mr B eventually came up with the ‘new’ evidence. That meeting was obviously about how those ‘experts’ in attendance would have to alter their evidence and commit perjury to ensure I was convicted. They were the main experts to get me convicted and all committed perjury on crucial evidence. Dr K in particular was obsessively dogmatic about getting me convicted and committing perjury. Melissa died because of the eleven hour delay before surgery at Starship. Tauranga hospital stalled transfer to Starship and Dr J, Tauranga hospital specialist paediatrician turned down emergency surgery to be performed there. It was said of the Bain trial that the 'police do things differently nowadays when their low tactics came to light. I know they are better at covering it up and more laws have been made to protect it. People who have blind faith in those we are mean't to have faith in and still persecute David Bain, open up the wool over your heads a crack and get real!
