Very interesting docu-drama series highlighting some very famous wrongly accused and often wrongly convicted people, such as Stefan Kitcho (15 years false imprisonment for the murder of 11 year old Lesley Molseed), Colin Stagg (wrongly accused and on bale for a year for the murder of Rachel Nickel), and Barri White (Jill Dando case). It just shows that bent cops are nothing new and people in the passed were often banged up based on very little or no evidence. Louise Shorter has done a lot of good work on false allegations over many years and her work should be recognised.
Roger Cook from the Cook Report was part of the issue with Colin Stagg. Stagg did all the tests Cook Report asked him to do apart from the Truth Serum, which Cook didn't like. Stagg said he never did or touched drugs he didn't know.
There is no evidence that is the public domain about Truth Serum do actually work.
Barry George is a complete oddball and was a menace to women...I knew right away he didn't murder Jill Dando.
Having magazines about guns and in-house BBC magazines is not a crime. I can't think of anything more boring than the BBC in-house magazine, it's probably similar to reading the shampoo bottle whilst dumping a shit out.
The police who gave Colin Stagg a visit found a book about true crime or on the occult, and they put him in the bracket right away.
True crime books are every where because they cheap to publish and are popular with young people. Even the chemists had a spinner racks of heavily disounted books, most of them were pulp, true crime (serial killers mostly) and romance novels.
Nick Ross thinks Barry George killed Jill Dando, and I seem to remember that an ex senior cop who worked on the case and was interviewed in the 2019 documentary below implied the same.
The fact that George was an oddball, a menace to women, a fantasist (calling himself Freddie Mercury's cousin), had obsessions with celebrites and posed in a photo with a gun doesn't, in my view, make it less likely that he killed her. MWT (who thinks George is innocent) did a documentary "The Dando Files" in which he interviewed George. George said he didn't know that Jill Dando lived near him or even who she was, which seemed implausible and suspicious to me, given his house full of magazines, celebrity obsessions and the fact that she not only had a very high profile but in the weeks before her death had appeared on the cover of the Radio Times and on the front of OK magazine with her fiance, with presumaly more inside about her engagement and imminent marriage. It seems plausible to me that that news, which was no doubt elsewhere too, had incensed an obsessive. George often seems to be portrayed as a simpleton, but that's not how he came across to me in MWT's documentary. Maybe not a criminal mastermind, but I think it's quite possible he got lucky.
Here's MWT's documentary "The Dando Files". It also includes footage from George's police interviews. He didn't come across to me like a simpleton in them either.
