Joe Karam
Joseph Francis "Joe" Karam (born 21 November 1951) is a former New Zealand representative rugby footballer who played for the All Blacks, an entrepreneur and a campaigner for David Bain, a man convicted of murdering his entire family in 1995 but acquitted after a retrial in 2009.
==Background==
Karam was born in Taumarunui to a Lebanese father and Irish mother. He grew up on the family farm near Raurimu and attended St. Patrick's College, Silverstream. He was a member of the public-speaking team, a prefect and played the part of a Maori boy in the 1968 school production. He excelled in sport. Other students could run faster and kick better, he says, but they didn’t use their brains like he did.〔(One angry man ) ''New Zealand Listener'' Issue 3493, 21 April 2007〕
According to an article in The New Zealand Listener, Karam has always had a strong sense of justice. At 16, he seriously considered becoming a priest. He later read a book about the existence of God that he felt actually proved the opposite – so he converted to what many see as another Kiwi religion, rugby. When he became a successful entrepreneur he said: “People ask me what I do, and I say, I think. That’s how I make my money. I spend a lot of time on my own and you can make a lot more money thinking than you can working. With the Bain case, I think about things that never dawn on other people.”〔
