Another miscarriage of British justice
The appeal of Barry George against conviction for the murder of Jill Dando has so far resulted in a 'reserved judgement', which means the judges have gone off to have some lunch and think about it. I don't know what there is to think about, how slow are these judges and why do they clearly find thinking so difficult? The case had all the hallmarks of a miscarriage right from when George was arrested, it smelled to me like the usual police fit-up of a vulnerable inadequate as a way of putting a high profile case to bed, after a year with nothing found. Or perhaps it was politically expedient, considering that it was almost certainly a Serbian hitman who killed her - shot cleanly in the head close up in the manner of professional killings. In March Jill had made a successful TV appeal which raised over £6 million for Albanian refugees and which drew an irate letter sent to her agent. NATO eventually bombed Serbia. On April 23rd 1999 Radio Television Serbia was hit by NATO bombing which killed seventeen young TV workers. Senior British Government Ministers defended the action which originated in the UK. They claimed the TV station was the mouthpiece of Serbian propaganda. Jill Dando was regarded as the ‘face’ of BBC1. This seemed to me then and now a valid reason to suspect a Serb did it. Her killer was probably out of the country within a few hours while the plod were still scratching their heads. Initial witness reports described a well-dressed man outside her house, then a 'sweating' man at a bus stop and even a man running across a park and jumping into the River Thames, none of which matched George. One theory was that a member of the criminal underworld might have been upset by something Miss Dando had worked on for the Crimewatch programme, but the criminal class had put up with Crime Watch for years without assassinating either of the presenters, and they don't generally go in for that kind of thing. Barry George didn't fit any of the ideas being put forward. The most telling fact to come out of last year's Panorama enquiry into the case, was that the police, after a year scratching their heads, came up with a list of attributes for the assassin with no justification at all [considering they had so little to go on, why would they claim it was a 'loner' who had done it?] The list just happened to fit George to a T, and soon afterwards they arrested him. If that's not a blatant fit up, I'm a green skinned Martian with a liking for chocolate ants. It has all the hallmarks of a clumsy plod fit-up the like of which we have seen far too many examples over the years. What little so called 'evidence' they gathered together for the trial was circumstantial; he was seen walking in the area hours before, that kind of pathetic suggestion wouldn't convince anyone of anything. The only bit of hard evidence was one microscopic speck of so-called 'firearms residue' which could equally have come from a firework, and was found in his coat pocket A YEAR after the murder. It could also easily have been transferred there by a policeman handling the coat before it was given to forensics to examine. The guidelines now are that a single speck carries no significance and must be discounted, anyone handling a firearm, and discharging it would have millions of such particles on him. It was obvious at the time to anyone with half a functioning brain that George wasn't up to the job of a professional hit, being low down in the IQ table and generally known in the area as subnormal and a harmless fantasist. A perfect victim for the police wanting to clear up a high profile murder which had become embarrassingly unsolved. The inadequate judges eventually decided poor Barry has to face another trial, as if he hasn't been through enough already, which is due to be held in June this year.
