I seem to recall that there were quite a few rumours around during the Lord McAlpine fiasco that Jill Dando's murder was linked to her intention to expose a paedophile ring. It looks as though the main stream media has just picked up on this....

I doubt they would do it themselves though....The 'Hitman' would be a stranger to her
Wasn't he an avid fan? If so then there were probably plenty at the BBC familiar with him and it made him easy to frame.
True, but being able to pin it on the local weirdo would have softened that blow somewhat...
...not that I'm saying that's what happened, but this shit DOES seem slightly less far-fetched than it used to.
Exactly. Eighteen months ago it sounded such a giant leap of logic yet now I'm wondering how many others tried to bring abuse to the attention of the authorities and it was stopped one way or another. The one thing with the Jill Dando investigation was that they couldn't find any skeletons in her background - therefore she couldn't be blackmailed to keep quiet whereas others probably could...?
Probably just a case of him fitting the profile police would look for when a famous person is murdered. Obsessed fan, history of mental problems, bit of a loner.

I doubt he did it (mostly because it looks like a professional hit) but looking at his history I'm not surprised he would draw attention to investigators.
I would say it is all putting two and two together and coming up with 5.
Off topic but the bit about Elm Guest House, sorry but it is a known fact that in some dodgy places people will write names of other people often famous people , after all if you were visiting an establishment where illegal acts were going on would you really enter your actual name ? One famous name was already eliminated from the so called list after police spoke to the children involved.
With all of the dark stuff covered up now starting to come to light, this seriously would not surprise me
Without getting all biblical and whatever, evil will probably do whatever it takes to carry on with its mission.
That's a bit puzzling then. Unless he meant that Barry George had something to do with it. I dunno. I think we should have an explanation by the judge about what he meant by that comment. The judge that denied him compensation could be dead now, especially if he was nearing retirement.
He may have been referring to George's prior convictions and somewhat disturbing past... The guy may not have murdered GD but he was in no way an "innocent"
Although based on the case in question BG was indeed innocent so it's still confusing why he was refused compo.
There is a link explaining here:

I think it's basically a lot of legal argument and speak. I think the upshot is the person asking for compensation has to be able to prove they didn't do it.. ie.. evidence of police corruption, being setup, tampering of evidence or withholding of evidence etc.. or that it's found the jury were mislead in any way during the trial itself in such a way that they've reached the wrong verdict due to it.
His appeal was won on issues with the gun shot residue evidence but I guess that wasn't enough to satisfy the criteria that his trial was flawed. Basically.. he's innocent in the eyes of the law but sadly for him not innocent enough that it would result in a large compensation pay out. Doesn't mean he did it.. and it doesn't mean the judge suspects he did it.. just means there isn't enough evidence to suggest he was knowingly wrongfully found guilty.
If it turned out a police officer had planted the residue evidence on his clothes.. compensation would be instant. But a science change that results in the evidence not being as strong as it was during the trial.. not guilty.. but no pay out. That's my understanding anyway.
Rainbowgirl: It won't be that. Past convictions or crimes don't come into it. It will purely be how correct the running of the trial was in the eyes of the law.
I must have been editing as you posted..

Yep I edited my post 4 times so i'm not surprised I missed it.
You telling me it were the paedos that killed her?
You know there are times when I feel that I might be too harsh and dismissive of other people and perhaps I should put more faith in their opinions and views, posts like this one cure me of that ill advised notion.
Keep up the good work!
