Dando appeal pleases author
A CHESTERFIELD author who wrote a book about the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando says he is pleased the man convicted of her killing is to face a re-trial.
Scott Lomax, aged 25, of Brimington, spoke out after Barry George's conviction was overturned yesterday at the Court of Appeal.
George's legal team argued a single particle of firearms discharge residue found on his coat did not indicate guilt, and the evidence had "misled" the jury.
Mr Lomax said: "I am pleased the judges reached the same conclusion as I reached during the research of my book. Barry George is the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice."
