4.0 out of 5 stars
Presumed guilty, Nov 19 2005
By Christopher M. MacNeil "Chris M" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Who Killed Jill Dando? the Case of Barry George, a Shocking Miscarriage of Justice (Paperback)
The case of the British Crown vs. George has been dubbed the British counterpart of the American O.J. trial because the victim, Jill Dando, was one of England's most loved television personalities. And her savage murder ignited a national outcry for justice. Unlike the Simpson trial, though, Barry George, the defendant accused of Ms. Dando's murder, was convicted. In a critical assessment of the British "trial of the century," author Scott Lomax raises the tragically valid possibility that justice might have been sacrificed to quench a public demand for a conviction of the only identified suspect. Lomax offers the probability that British "bobbies" and investigators blundered both ethically and legally in everything from handling so-called evidence to out-and-out fabricating it. More frightening is Lomax' theory that Dando may not even have been the intended victim of whoever killed her. George, who has steadfastly maintained his innocence, sits today in a prison in the UK as activists and supporters trudge on in their pursuit of justice for him. If author Lomax is right in his findings after an exhaustive review of the evidence against George, this case actually has something else in common with Simpson, more than being "the trial of the century:" justice wasn't served in either.
