At the end of 10 days of David Bain's retrial for the 1994 murders of his family, evidence has been completed from 40 of the Crown's 150 witnesses.
The focus during the first week was on what police found when they entered the Every St house about 7.30am on Monday, June 20, 1994, the demeanour of David Bain as he lay on the floor of his bedroom - did he have some sort of seizure, or was he faking? - and next door neighbours' assessment of Bain's parents, Robin and Margaret.
One witness described Mrs Bain as "flaky" and having some unusual ideas, while Robin Bain was seen as sincere, serious and easy to deal with.
Ambulance and Telecom staff described Bain's hysterical-sounding 111 emergency call on the morning of the shootings and the jury heard a brief extract from the taped call.
The jurors also saw an edited video of the dilapidated, dark and cluttered Every St house, showing the bodies of the five people where they lay shot.
They also learned a police officer unthinkingly picked up a spectacle frame from a chair in Bain's bedroom and said nothing about it until last weekend and, during the past two days, they have heard the defence challenge the time the Crown says was established as when the computer was switched on in the house on the morning of the shootings.
On the computer screen was the message "Sorry, You are the only one who deserved to stay".
Many of the exhibits in the case, including the .22 rifle used to kill the five members of the family, have been produced to the court.
Next week, the third in a trial scheduled for 12 weeks in the High Court in Christchurch, jurors are likely to hear a great deal more evidence from police officers who dealt with the separate crime scenes inside the house.
