Product Description

Synopsis
In July 2001 Barry Michael George was convicted at the Old Bailey for the murder of 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. 'Who Killed Jill Dando?' brings the case up to date, based upon extensive research and discussions with those who know George. It presents the facts and exposes the flaws in the prosecution's case against the man now regarded by many as one of Britain's most evil murderers. If George is the victim of a miscarriage of justice then who did kill Jill Dando? "While the reader may not agree with every interpretation Lomax offers, enough has been done to suggest that once again a jury may have been tempted to cross the line of reasonable doubt for the wrong reasons." - Gregory Leadbetter, Murder Most Foul.

From the Author
Has justice been served or is an innocent man in prison and a cold-blooded killer still on the loose? And, if a cold blooded killer is still on the loose, who might that killer be? These are the questions you are asked to consider when reading my book Who Killed Jill Dando?

It includes all of the content of the previous edition, but brings the story fully up to date with the new evidence being discussed for the first time. Other recent events in George's case are covered in a bid to produce a definitive account.

George was convicted in July 2001, of murdering the popular television presenter Jill Dando. The Barry George trial was very high-profile; it was the British equivalent of the OJ Simpson trial in the USA. Unlike Simpson, George was convicted and is still fighting against his conviction.

Who Killed Jill Dando? provides detailed discussion of the murder, the massive police investigation and the subsequent conviction of Barry George.

My book argues George's innocence and ultimately leaves the reader with a serious question; who really did kill Jill Dando? I have provided some pointers that were not sufficiently considered by the police.

This book includes a new theory that Jill Dando was not the intended victim, as well as informing the public of other key pieces of information about the murder of Jill Dando and the aftermath of the crime. I have spoken with a number of people who know George, including a relative, his best friend and an inmate who George has served with in Whitemoor Prison. I have also spoken to George himself. Speaking with those who know him, and the man himself, has enabled me to gain a very good picture of the man regarded as one of Britain's most evil killers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Presumed guilty, 6 Nov 2005
The case of the Crown vs. George has been compared to the American case of the People vs. (O.J.) Simpson, the ex-professional football player charged in the truly gruesome murders of his ex-wife and a man who had the fatal misfortunate of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If there are any parallels in the two cases, they certainly end with their verdicts: whereas Simpson was acquitted, George wasn't. For the non-Brit unfamiliar with the case, author Scott Lomax poses some troubling - if not fearsome - possibilities that Barry George may be a wrongfully convicted man for more than a couple of reasons, chief among them a "threshhold" criminal investigation fueled by a public outcry for conviction, and a media that might have predisposed public opinion to a presumption of George's guilt. If the chance that a wrongfully convicted man remains imprisoned exists, its tragedy is compounded by another of Lomax' theories: that the victim, TV personality Jill Dando, might not even have been the intended victim and her killer presumably remains at large. Lomax risks much - professionally and personally - in this expose that doesn't pander to the public's presumption of guilt and instead takes a courageous stand to challenge it. If Lomax is correct that the elements of a "miscarriage of justice" converged to convict an innocent man, George's case is a shameful commentary on the investigative, court and jury systems, and it demands reversal. In an American courtroom, the evidence against George as Lomax dismantles it would - hopefully - constitute reasonable doubt, thereby requiring acquittal. There's plenty of reasonable doubt about George's guilt in Lomax' book, and his work deserves not only a read by those still enthralled by the Dando case but by the architects of a very, very possible unjustice to her convicted killer.
