Barry George has won substantial damages against the News of World and the Sun, in his libel case. Despite having been cleared of the murder of Jill Dando, the two rags continued to publish articles, alleging that he was the killer, and that he stalked women including the Sky News presenter Kay Burley, and others. Newsgroup have apologised and withdrew their false allegations. He is also suing the Mirror group. Good on him! :agree:

There'd be none of this fuss if we'd had the death penalty.

The sick ******* should have swung for what he done. Even if he was inn-ocent, any-one that dress's up like Freddie Mercury (arse :bandit:) must be a bit of a sic-ko :sick:!

Hope the bleeding heart liberal's remember Baby P and Princess Di :pray: (forever in our hearts) next time they are playing We Will Rock You on their fancy German h-fi's:bitchy:.

If either of them touch-es my kid's I sware I'll do fuggin time!!

I'm coming round to the view that my only objection to the death penalty is on the grounds that killers may have other corpses in their lockers, and countless relatives and friends of missing people will never know what happened to their loved ones if we execute them.

Take the current little beast Tobin as a case in point.

James Bain was freed after 35 years, thanks to DNA evidence.

A US man has become the longest-serving prisoner to be freed after DNA evidence proved he was innocent of the crime he was convicted of three decades ago.
James Bain spent 35 years in jail after being found guilty of kidnapping and raping a nine-year-old boy in 1974.
On his release from prison in Florida on Thursday, he told the BBC he was not angry and his faith had helped him.
He has always maintained his innocence, but was only allowed a review of his case following an appeal.
During his final court hearing signalling his release, Mr Bain wore a T-shirt with the words "Not Guilty" on it.
The 54-year-old, who was jailed at the age of 19, told the BBC's World Today programme that he felt very emotional and "extremely great".
'In God's hands'
He said his first duty upon his release was to see his mother.
"I felt so good but because of her [my mother's] health I had to go to the house. She never gave up, the same as [me]."
He said the support of his family and his religious faith had helped him get through his ordeal.

He walked out of the courthouse, a free man, a free man in America

"[It] just was the right time for God to release me from this. I just had to be very patient for that... I cannot feel angry. I put all that in God's hands," he said.
After leaving Polk County courthouse, Mr Bain said he hoped to return to school and he was looking forward to eating fried turkey and drinking Dr Pepper.
The Innocence Project of Florida helped co-ordinate Mr Bain's release. It says that he was imprisoned for far longer than any of the other 246 inmates exonerated by DNA evidence across the US.
Mr Bain was freed after filing several petitions asking for his case to be reviewed and DNA tests to be carried out.
Most of these were thrown out but following an order by a judge, test results which came in last week showed Mr Bain was innocent.
He had been convicted mainly on the strength of the victim identifying him out of a line-up, although tests available at the time did not definitely link him to the crime, the Associated Press reported.
Mr Bain said he had been watching television with his twin sister when the crime occurred.

TBH, I think they treated the guy harshly from the start.

We all have such short memories and tend to forget the joy his songs brought in the early eighties.

Karma Chameleon was his best. How anyone ever associated the guy with Dando is beyond me.
