Barry George was fitted up

By John Hirst

It is clear that Barry George was fitted up to appease Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, leading the inquiry into Jill Dando's killing, and the Forensic Science Service assisted in this process.

It has to be said, that Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell should be charged with gross professional misconduct. It is not wrong to have a gut instinct, but it is wrong to falsify facts to make them fit a hypothesis. And it is wrong for the FFS to falsify reports of evidential findings. The meaningless forensic evidence was sexed up and presented as accurate and reliable, when in reality it was fabricated to fit the desire for a prosecution.

This analysis is damning. It has been drawn to my attention in the comments in the post below that the role of the BBC in reporting this case is questionable. That is a bias in favour of its deceased employee and against Barry George. I hope he sues the bastards!

UPDATE: Lord John Stevenson, the former Commissioner of the Met Police, said that the McCanns would never be prosecuted in England - he?s right the powerful and influential rarely are, but the likes of George, a mental retard, who has few friends can be prosecuted on a lot less evidence.
