George waits for result of Jill Dando murder appeal

BARRY GEORGE, the man serving life for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando, will have to wait to see if he has succeeded in his courtroom bid for freedom following the end of his appeal yesterday.

George, 42, was present in the dock as the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf, sitting with Mr Justice Curtis and Mr Justice Henriques, said: “We will get our judgment out as soon as we can.”

George was found guilty in July last year of the April 1999 shooting of the 37-year-old BBC Crimewatch presenter on the steps of her home in Gowan Avenue, Fulham, south west London.
