Barry George and the Jury Foreman story 16 Years, 6 Months ago  
in the Mail today.

www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/...;amp;in_page_id=1770

I wish a juror in my case would come forward (the one who walked out in mid deliberation in disgust for example) but I wouldn't dream of asking them to because I thought it was illegal. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Quite possibly a juror or two in my case might have felt the fact that I now have a cast iron alibi I was on another continent when one of the alleged crimes was meant to have been committed might have influenced their vote?

In my three and a half years in Britain's prisons I met many who had served time alongside Barry George.

Not one of them thought he was guilty.

Panorama do a special on BBC1 at 8.30pm Monday.

If I remember the papers had a field day about him even before he was tried.
Just because he behaved a little unusual they had a great time showing how anybody the slightest bit deviant from the norm.
Remember the residue evidence from the Birmingham 6 case being disproved,and now another piece of similar evidence bites the dust.

Watched it on Panaroma and it is somewhat shocking that another major miscarriage of justice has happened.

I just wonder JK, if maybe one of your jurors will come forward as this may open the floodgates.

It certainly does appear that Barry George is innocent, judging by the programme content.

The frightening thing is the THOUSANDS of miscarriages of justice that get no publicity and no closure as the victims simply don't have the energy or resources to fight.

I met dozens in the prison estate. The majority of officers in the system now agree with this (they work with inmates 24/7). So do Governors, Chaplains, staff, healthcare etc...

The secret is out as more and more become aware that the system is broken.

Police automatically bend the rules in order to get the results. They find out very quickly that nobody cares about truth or justice. Just convictions.

So get the results and the easiest area is sex allegations. No proof needed.

Notice by the way how nobody dares say that the particle may well have been INTENTIONALLY placed in George's coat. Society is so frightened of the consequences of corruption and dishonesty being exposed in the system that legally they must keep talking about accidental contamination.

There is as much stitching up now as ever.

So here we go... the Court of Appeal starts to decide - was it an unsafe conviction (as so many are, including my own), should there be a retrial (impossible - but the most likely outcome - look what happened to Sion Jenkins) or back to jail.

If it's either of the first two, what a savage indictment (yet again) of the slow slow slow Judicial system; an innocent man once more in prison for years (and a guilty one out there probably killing again, like Milly Dowler's murderer).

If it's thrown out I shall doubt even more the impartiality of the system and the structure of society.

Judges say they haven't watched the 2 TV documentaries and that they should not have been aired.

Just as they instruct jurors to "put out of their minds" anything they may have read in the tabloids.

Or "wipe from your memories" facts revealed by the prosecution and then ordered struck out by the trial judge (like my non existant "seduction packs" - the Judge told the jury to ignore the information since the packs never existed - easy to say; impossible to do).

And the Judge in my trial forgot to instruct the jurors not to Google Search my name ("Google? What is that?") so - if they did - they would have read about allegations thrown out and not a part of my trial, would have (wrongly) assumed I'd been found guilty of other charges, and thought I must be guilty of the charges in front of them.

The judicial system is simply not in the present century.

We should resurect King Alfred. He recognised that innocent people were being convicted on the word of one accuser, and he intoduced the burden of proof. But of course he was just a primitive Saxon.

I hear the judge was fuming about Nick Ross' (not named) letter to the judges saying he believed Barry George is guilty.
