the Bain murders New Zealand

I don't think it has been mentioned here previously. I would be interested to hear peoples opinions on this case. Opinion in New Zealand is split. A brief outline is here http://davidbain.counterspin.co.nz/h...family-murders

Thanks magoo. At first blush, I would think that the first verdict was right. Why would David deserve to live while younger siblings did not? Since he was 22, still living at home and just delivering papers (a job 12-year-olds often do), was David below normal IQ-wise?
