SHOOT: The question is 'why'? But then if he is crazy or screwed up, attempting to answer that question might drive you crazy yourself. And if his father committed the crimes - 'why'? And 'why', if he was so intent on killing his family, why spare David? Why not wait until everyone was in one place?
David Bain will not give evidence in his own defence, say his lawyers, who otherwise were yesterday keeping their cards close to their chest.
"Matters are now 15 years on, there is nothing more he can contribute. He has always maintained his innocence, as you have heard. And he still does."
Bain, 37, is on trial for murdering his parents and three siblings in their Dunedin family home on June 20, 1994.
This includes experts who will say Robin could have easily used the rifle next to his body to commit suicide, that Laniet, 18, could have survived long enough after being shot to be gurgling when Bain got home from his paper round, and that Robin had injuries on his body consistent with a struggle with his son Stephen.
Stephen Bain, 14, fought his killer in his bedroom before being shot in the head.
