No idea who is Binnie but MASTERFUL? Sounds like you've got the hots for him 
A view from a Canadian lawyer Lashl, she was an ISF moderator.
Until now, I had never heard of this case so I don't know anything about it or have any pre-conceived notions about it, but I am finding this (pdf file) an interesting read so far. Ian Binnie, who is a retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, is certainly no slouch, so I am interested in reading his take on the matter.
and
I have some concern that starting at ~about page 157, suddenly there is the introduction of qualifiers such as "Comment" or "Comments" in advance of various bits and pieces in the midst of Binnie's report. These do not appear to be Binnie's words, and it looks like someone else has interjected them. It is not clear to me whether this is the case or whose "comments" may have been interjected.

Well, that's reasonably compelling on that particular point, indeed (and I watched the whole 38 minutes of it.)

Charlie Wilkes obligingly stated
In the video I watched, investigators exactly replicated the marks shown in the crime scene photo. The marks are distinctive and unusual. You offer no reason to accept your claim that they were "clearly older marks with ingrained dirt."
and
It happens I own a .22 semi-auto, with a slightly different magazine cartridge, but it loads the same way, and I see the point exactly. I have had those marks on my own thumb and index finger.
They didn't "try very hard." They merely demonstrated what happened when they reloaded the magazine after shooting the gun.

Of course no one here should be distracted by two North American specialists in their fields with no axe to grind in the Bain case.
We are preparing a full annotated transcription of Binnie's very important interview. It shows the disgraceful oozing mendacity of the National government cabinet.
