Michael Laws And Joe Karam To Face Off

Michael Laws And Joe Karam To Face Off In Two-Hour Live In Studio Debate

RadioLIVE host Michael Laws faces off with Joe Karam, campaigner for acquitted murder accused David Bain in a special two-hour LIVE-in-studio debate this Friday, August 6 on RadioLIVE from 9am.
It is the most discussed and debated murder trial in New Zealand’s history…Was it Robin or David?

Laws and Karam will debate the verdict of New Zealand's foremost murder mystery – after Laws accepted a challenge from Joe Karam to talk through the evidence.

On 5 June 2009, David Bain was acquitted on all charges at his retrial for the murders. Following the Bryan Bruce documentary The Investigator Special: The Case against Robin Bain the talkback lines ran hot with furious debate when Karam called Laws during his daytime radio show on RadioLIVE.
Laws is up for the challenge. The debate takes place LIVE with both men in RadioLIVE's main studio in Auckland.

Brent Impey, broadcast lawyer and ex-CEO Mediaworks, will adjudicate the debate.

Station Manager Mitch Harris says: "This is the murder verdict that just won't sleep and is still the object of intense speculation. We felt framing the debate in these terms could help narrow and clarify the discussions that continue."

RadioLIVE listeners will have the opportunity to ask questions of the debaters via phone, text and online at radiolive.co.nz
