At 7:09 a.m. on June 20, 1994, David Bain called emergency services in Dunedin, New Zealand: his whole family was dead. Five people had been shot in their home. The only two people who could have done it were David, the surviving son, and Robin, the dead father. David was convicted in 1995 - then, in 2007, the Privy Council quashed his convictions for a substantial miscarriage of justice, and in 2009 a retrial jury acquitted him. This episode follows the forensic re-examination that undid the conviction - the lens, the glove, the trigger lock, the message on the computer screen - and asks what the evidence proves when the same facts point to two different killers, and the house itself was burned three weeks later.
