What also must be regarded as evidence against David Bain is the almost complete lack of evidence pointing to Robin Bain in the murders of his family members. Both prosecution and defence agreed it could only be either Robin Bain or David Bain, bearing this in mind there is only one evidence item that was presented by the defence that they said connects Robin to the murders, this one disputed item was the bloody sock prints http://davidbain.counterspin.co.nz/evidence/bloody-sock-prints-in-the-hallway-0 which were found leading away from the bloody murder scene of Stephen Bain, but as the evidence showed Robin Bain had blood free socks on when found by police, the defence said he changed his socks along with his other clothes putting the bloody ones in the washing basket which David admitted washing, an interesting aspect of this is that there was only one pair of socks and one odd sock found by police in the wash and David admitted to the police that the pair in the wash was his. Because there was just one item of highly disputed evidence against Robin the defence mainly concentrated on trying to show Robin committed suicide and defaming and besmirching his good reputation.
