Barry George

I have been involved in this case since George's conviction back in July 2001 and helped run the campaign from 2003, having got involved in the campaign in 2002 when it was set up by Barry’s uncle Mike, who led the Justice for Barry campaign.

In November 2007 Barry appealed against his conviction, with the judges overturning the murder conviction on 15 November that year. I was in court to hear all the evidence which entirely undermined the forensic evidence that had led to Barry George with being charged with Jill Dando’s murder in the first place. The judges ordered a retrial which began in June 2008.

On 1 August 2008 I was in court to see Barry George freed by a unanimous ‘Not Guilty’ verdict. Again, key evidence that had been used to convict him originally was undermined. The prosecution’s case was eroded to the point that there was no case to answer against him.

Barry George is the subject of my book Justice for Jill.

It is now ten years since Jill Dando was shot dead on the doorstep of her unlived in Fulham house. Now that we have seen justice for Barry George, after 8 years of fighting against his wrongful imprisonment, I hope that the true killer will be held to account for his wicked crime of killing a woman in the prime of her life and allowing an innocent man to go to prison for a crime he did not commit.
