George forced to wait as judgment reserved in Dando murder appeal

BARRY George faces a wait to find out if his appeal against his conviction for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando has been successful.

George, aged 47, was present in the dock of the Court of Appeal in London yesterday as the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips and two other senior judges reserved their judgment in the case on the third day of the hearing.

They did not give a date for the ruling, but Lord Phillips said the court did not anticipate that it would be reserving its judgment “for a good length of time”.
