Description
On the morning of 26 April 1999, Jill Dando, an English journalist, television presenter and newsreader, was shot dead outside her home in London. It prompted the biggest murder inquiry conducted by the Metropolitan Police and the country's largest criminal investigation since the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. A year later a local disabled man, Barry George, was arrested and later convicted and imprisoned for the murder. Eight years later, following a successful appeal against his original conviction, he was retried and acquitted. The case remains unsolved.Michelle Diskin is the sister of Barry George. She campaigned tirelessly to prove her brother's innocence. Here she talks about what it is like to a relative caught in a high profile murder case of this kind and what it took from her and others to challenge the British Criminal Justice System.Links:Michelle Diskin https://www.linkedin.com/in/diskinmichelle/?originalSubdomain=ukBook: Stand Against Injustice : Michelle Diskin Bates, : 9781910786246MOJ: http://www.mojuk.org.uk/Appeal: http://appeal.org.uk/Second Chance: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Second Chance Webpage: Second ChanceYour Vision Media LTD: www.yourvisionmedia.tvSupport the show
