That ledger says "replica" so how can someone use the ledger to claim it was a murder weapon?
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious??
Fair point but I have watched them, 4x from recollection (BBC one last week, ITV one with Julia Echington, one with an ex detective/investigator on Youtube and Netflix). The Netflix one was 3x 1 hour episodes. Unfortunately I don't remember every part.Respectfully, all of this is clearly explained in the documentaries a number of us keep advising you to watch.
What BG called a "replica" wasn't a "replica" at all. It was a blank-firing starter pistol. The lead investigator and other experts go into detail about all of it in the documentaries.

I think the weakness in your argument is you're choosing the ledger as evidence, but then admitting some of the details are wrong. If he got "replica" wrong, he could quite easily have the gun model wrong too, which makes the ledger worthless.
In other words, we cannot pick & choose which parts of the ledger are correct/incorrect.
Just taken out a Netflix subscription and having binged the series tonight, I remain convinced that Barry George did not murder Jill Dando. He's not clever enough to have done it and not admit to it. Michael Mansfield is rarely wrong. Unfortunately, like the Geordie Ripper, the investigators went down the wrong tunnel and became blind to what was staring themselves in the face. It was not a random murder, but a planned killing, and that's not Barry George. MOOThe three-part series, which is set for release on September 26, takes an in-depth look at the unsolved murder of the celebrated BBC journalist, who was shot dead outside her London home in April 1999 at the age of 37.
In the brief teaser, Dando is described as a “TV Diana”, with prominent commentators discussing her glittering career and the impact of her murder.
It also features interviews with Barry George, the man who was wrongly convicted of Dando’s murder in September 2001. George, who lived locally to Dando in West London, was eventually acquitted in August 2008 after discrepancies with original evidence came to light.

I also find it bizarre, given that the retrial jury acquitted Barry George and the Judge said that he has been found not guilty and is a free man, for him not to be given compensation for the 8 years of now found to be wrongful imprisonment. Compensation, like the law, should be equally applied. MOOJust taken out a Netflix subscription and having binged the series tonight, I remain convinced that Barry George did not murder Jill Dando.

I guess the only issue is how would it be planned, when it was an unplanned Monday morning visit Jill made to her old home to collect letters (sha had already moved out)?Just taken out a Netflix subscription and having binged the series tonight, I remain convinced that Barry George did not murder Jill Dando.

It wasn't difficult to hack mobile phones back then. If the plan was to take her out, it could easily have been planned by a professional. The tabloids regularly hacked celebrity phones back then.I guess the only issue is how would it be planned, when it was an unplanned Monday morning visit Jill made to her old home to collect letters (sha had already moved out)?
Also how did you feel about Barry blatantly lying that the masked photo of him holding a gun in his own flat wasnt him.
I think the planning or lack thereof is one of the elephants in the room. As I understand it and apologies if I'm wrong the police reviewed tons of CCTV and found nothing at all to suggest she was followed.I guess the only issue is how would it be planned, when it was an unplanned Monday morning visit Jill made to her old home to collect letters (sha had already moved out)?

The same people who couldn't convince a court of law?It's not just random little old me saying this. It's not *my* argument. It's the investigators and experts who know what they're talking about who are saying this.
I struggle to agree with the statement Jill Dando had a minimal public profile.The idea of a professional hit seems far fetched too. First, frankly JD was a minor light entertainment presenter with a minimal public profile.
Let's say it was him and he didn't want the police thinking it was him (so he lied).I guess the only issue is how would it be planned, when it was an unplanned Monday morning visit Jill made to her old home to collect letters (sha had already moved out)?

She was shot with the gun pressed to her head. Why would they need to make sure?Second, a professional would have shot more than once to make sure, probably after following her inside her house so as to be unobserved, and would have had a getaway planned.
