Turns out you, me and the next guy are all chipping in $228k to make a documentary on the trial. Via NZ on air of course.
Not entirely sure what I think of that. The trial was incredibly prying into deeply personal matters, especially for the lady who has died, but also for the guy who has been acquitted. I am starting to understand why so many people go to such great lengths to obtain and retain name suppression.
It is one thing being on trial in a Court of Law, now it's all going to be relitigating in the Court of Mainstream Media and Public Opinion.
