I fear cops will frame me after Dando blunder

Barry George, 63, was convicted of the 1999 shooting dead the TV star, 37, and spent eight years in prison before his acquittal on appeal in 2008.

Speaking ahead of a Netflix documentary about the much-loved presenter's unsolved murder, he wants police to reopen the case.

He is taking part in the series in a bid to show the public "that there's no way I could have done this".

Mr George was convicted by a 10-1 majority in 2001 largely because of a tiny particle of gunpowder found in his jacket pocket.

In the 2008 retrial, that particle was found to be so small that it was inadmissible as evidence. But the Met has not reopened the investigation.

Mr George, who lived close to Ms Dando in Fulham, West London but now lives in Ireland, has Asperger's, frontal lobe brain damage, ADHD, learning difficulties, epilepsy and is diabetic, with poor dexterity and an inability to fully look after himself.
