A bloke wrongly convicted for the killing of Jill Dando is terrified police will try to "fit him up" for the crime.<\/p>\n
Despite Barry George being cleared of any wrongdoing after eight years behind bars, he feels his "full liberty" was denied, and that cops could come after him. Mr George had been convicted for the murder of Jill but was found not guilty eight years later.<\/p>\n
Since his time on the inside, Barry says he has received no compensation for the near-decade of his life lost to life behind bars, and the Met Police are still yet to find the real killer.<\/p>\n

Barry, 63, is now hoping to clear up his name in the upcoming Netflix documentary, and maintains the "end game" is to show there was no way he could have carried out the murder which shocked the nation in 1999.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr George, speaking to The Mirror, said: "The end game is I want to show, publicly, that there\u2019s no way I could have done this."<\/p>\n
He later revealed he feels like he is having to keep an eye out for trouble down the line, and does not feel "free" despite his release from prison. Barry, who spent eight years behind bars, says he does not yet have his "full liberty" back.<\/p>\n
The innocent man added: "Not when I feel like I\u2019m having to look over my shoulder all the time in case there are people following me about, or police forces potentially trying to fit me up for something else. In that sense, I don\u2019t feel free. To be outside a prison wall, yes I feel free, to a certain degree.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019ve got some liberty back, but not my full liberty. I\u2019ve been found unanimously not guilty through appeal, and I\u2019ve been released. I rise to the challenge, because if I don\u2019t then there are many people out there who would walk over me."<\/p>\n
Barry now finds himself fuming with the police force, insisting they started a witch hunt against the "local strange person". His family are still haunted by the case, which left their loved one, who suffered from learning difficulties, frontal lobe brain damage and ADHD.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His sister, Michelle Bates, 68, spoke of the documentary and said they had "no control" on what the programme features, but hope they will showcase the truth. <\/p>\n
She said: "We have no control over the programme content, but we really hope the truth becomes clear and, better still, would be if the case was reopened. <\/p>\n
"There\u2019s not been an active investigation since Barry was convicted, so it\u2019s just another way of keeping the spotlight on Barry." His defence team at the time of trial said a Serbian hitman had been involved in the killing, which was allegedly a mistaken identity murder, with Lisa Brinkworth the intended target. <\/p>\n
