The Case of Barry George [Paperback]

It is good to see Barry's dodgy conviction challenged. Your book will keep the story alive. Very good.

'carefully researched ... meticulous presentation of the evidence ... the author argues convincingly'

In July 2001 Barry Michael George was convicted at the Old Bailey of murdering the television presenter Jill Dando. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, having been told that he was "unpredictable and dangerous." The evidence against George was described as "compelling", yet the case of Barry George remains one of the most controversial in British criminal history with a growing number of people believing him to be the victim of a miscarriage of justice. The Case of Barry George is the first book published which presents the facts and argues that George's conviction is unsafe, with an innocent man incarcerated for a crime he could not possibly have committed.

The Case of Barry George provides detailed discussion of the murder and the police investigation.

My book is the first to argue that a miscarriage of justice has taken place. It discusses, in detail, all of the evidence and attempts to show that what was termed "compelling evidence" does not prove that George was in any way involved in this terrible crime. Indeed it argues that George was elsewhere at the time of the murder. The weaknesses in the prosecution's case are fully shown and information that the jury never heard, is covered.

This book, which provides some new information that the public are not aware, brings the story fully up to date with a mention of some latest news in the conclusion. The news, which the public have not yet heard, shows that the murder of Jill Dando and the case of Barry George continue to surprise.

The Barry George trial, unsurprisingly, resulted in a large element of what is known as 'trial by media'. Essentially the prosecution case was presented via the media at the expense of the defence's case, which most usually only had a passing reference. As a consequence a number of misconceptions exist. My book attempts to inform people of the truth so that they can realise what they have read and heard previously, is incorrect. The truth can only be provided by a book.

I am absolutely convinced that Barry George is innocent and I believe that if you read the facts, you too will be convinced he is the victim of a miscarriage of justice or, at the very least, believe that he should not have been convicted on such tenuous evidence.
