Who Killed Jill Dando?

(That was the worst meme ever and that was before memes were invented.)

lolol

Doubts over times and whether it was actually physically possible for him to have been there to carry out the murder.

One fucking microscopic fragment of gun residue that was found in one of his coat pockets - but which PROPER experts (i.e. not Met experts) say could have come from anywhere) and anyway might not have had anything to do with the gun that killed Jill Dando.

About 20 odd people failed to pick him out in identity parades, two people did:

1. A woman who subsequently changed her description of the murderer
2. A woman who didn't recognise him at first but then changed her mind having had a conversation with Woman 1 in the back of a police car AND who ended up having an affair with the police officer in charge of the case!

Plus lots of dodgy stuff in the jury room etc etc etc

yeah, if memory serves, he was obsessed with her.

He was a creepy weirdo and an obsessive - but absolutely not about Jill Dando. The police found over 800 old newspapers at his (manky) flat of which exactly EIGHT had articles about Jill Dando and none of them had been cut out or scrawled over or drooled on the way creepy weirdo obsessives normally do

more excellent detective work from the met, fit up the local looney YOU SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGS

If he is at some point pardoned/released, will the police ever arrest/apprehend another likely suspect?

But seriously tho (again)... he has to walk at the end of this trial, anything else would be a travesty.

did you see the program on Sunday night about this. i try not to believe anything i see on tv but if it was even semi-accurate then it's pretty compelling. i still think it was that Fiona Bruce wot dunnit.

Barry George wins appeal, face re-trial

Had to happen

Every time this thread gets revived I end up singing Who Killed Bambi? to myself all day.

It's always be a story about Bobby George to me

Gentle pretty thing
Who only had one spring
You bravely faced the world
Ready for anything
I'm happy that you lived
For your life is mine
What have I except to cry
Spirit never die
Birds of the air
Beasts of the earth
Overjoyed at Dando's birth they gambolled in the glade

Who killed Dando?

Murder murder murder
Someone should be angry
The crime of the century
Who shot little Dando
Never trust a hippie
'Cause I love punky Dando
I'll kill to find the killer
In that rotten roll army
All the spikey punkers
Believers in the ruins
With one big shout
They all cry out
Who killed Dando?
Who?

No, Nathaniel
Oh no Jill Dando!
No, Jill Dando, no
There must be more to life
There has to be a way
That we can restore to life
The love we used to know
Jill Dando, no
There must be more to life
There has to be a way
That we can restore to life
The light that we have lost

woops

'an "exaggerated interest" in celebrities, single women...'
= thinnest prosecution case EVER.

Barry George has been found not guilty of murdering BBC television presenter Jill Dando outside her London home.

Mr George, 48, of Fulham, west London, denied shooting 37-year-old Miss Dando on her doorstep on 26 April 1999.

He is expected to be released later and walk free from the Old Bailey after spending eight years in prison.

Eight years for being a creepy loner. Fucking shocking. I wonder how many coppers knew they had the wrong guy from the start.

The Met Police said it would reflect on George's acquittal and "consider how best to proceed".

Commander Simon Foy, head of Scotland Yard's homicide and serious crime command, said: "We are disappointed by today's verdict but especially disappointed for Jill's family and friends. However, we respect the decision of the court."

Well, at the moment they seem to be in denial. They probably still think they got the right guy. I met West Mids police officers in the mid 90s who still thought the Birmingham 6 were guilty and got off on a technicality.

The technicality being that that were not guilty.

In 1981, George somehow persuaded a stadium in Derby to stage a stunt in which he jumped over a row of double decker buses on his rollerskates. The stadium sold hundreds of tickets for the event. At the last moment, having seen the platform and ramp which had been constructed, George tried to back down but plucked up courage and managed to complete the leap.

Dad, everyone's sick of that story!

Meanwhile, in the Hague: "Mr Karadzic would like this additional offence taken into account..."
