Barry George's lawyers spent 3 years trying to get compensation. The case went to the high court. His lawyers claiming George would not have been convicted in the original trial if the jury had been aware of the unreliable evidence that George's lawyers had spent 11 years discrediting since the conviction.
"The claim was heard in the High Court, but in their summing up, judges Lord Justice Beatson and Mr Justice Irwin said: "There was indeed a case upon which a reasonable jury properly directed could have convicted the claimant of murder", and, on the strength of this, denied George compensation for wrongful incarceration".
The problem is Adam I don't think many people bother to read the Judgement's, which is a shame.
Barry George had been to prison prior to Jill Dando's murder but the way his sister and his supporters carry on, you'd think they'd forgotten about this fact.
Was it because of his 'disabilities' that he did what he did to his previous victim(s)? Why didn't his family bother to fight that conviction?
