On the 26th April 1999 Jill Dando, a well known BBC presenter and celebrity was murdered outside her home address. Over a year later Barry George, a vulnerable adult who suffered from a number of disabilities was arrested for her murder.

Despite the evidence being extremely sparse and contentious due to the police handling of the investigation, he was convicted at trial and sentenced to life imprisonment. He spent a number of years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Eventually, the Court of Appeal overturned his conviction and he was acquitted at a retrial. His sister Michelle worked tirelessly to support him through the process whilst having to cope with intense media and public scrutiny and raise her family. This is a powerful episode about what happened to her and her brother - the fight for justice goes on for Barry and many others who have been victims of a miscarriage of justice.
