[quote="Mr.Buttocks":c50ec]WHAT do you give someone who’s been proved innocent after spending the best part of their life behind bars,
wrongfully convicted of a crime they didn’t commit?
Paddy Hill was one of the Birmingham Six. He spent 16 years behind bars for the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings by the IRA.
Hill now lives on a farm with his wife and children near Beith in Scotland. He has been charged £50,000 for living expenses by the Home Office. oOo:[/quote:c50ec]
Any word on how he was proven innocent....?
only I saw a documentry about this and he appeared to be as guilty as sin.

It seems to be such an outrage by the English justice system that I can only think they still
consider him guilty and that he got off on a technicality or something...anyone know the truth of it?

OJ Simpson was proven innocent too....so, y'know....shit happens. eek:
