Description

Just over seven years ago, in the September 2001 issue, Master Detective described Barry George’s conviction for the murder of Jill Dando as “The Verdict That Shocked The Nation.” From the very beginning there were doubts about the safety of George’s conviction and especially about some of the “evidence” that helped put him behind bars. Those who have campaigned on George’s behalf have succeeded in keeping his name, his face and his case in the public eye to such an extent that in August this year Barry George was freed. So one injustice has been righted – but it leaves the question: who really did kill Jill Dando? Turn to page 8 for our definitive report on where the case stands now, and for an exclusive account of Barry George’s day of freedom by one of those who knew his case best, Scott Lomax.
