| Barry George has been found not guilty of murdering BBC television presenter Jill Dando outside her London home. Mr George, 48, of Fulham, west London, denied shooting 37-year-old Miss Dando on her doorstep on 26 April 1999. He was retried at the Old Bailey, having first faced trial for the killing in 2001. His defence argued he was not capable of carrying out what could be seen as the "perfect crime" that required "meticulous" planning. Mr George has consistently insisted he did not murder Jill Dando. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Extracts from Barry George police interviews. He was arrested on 15 May 2000, a year after the shooting. Forensic evidence about a tiny speck of gun residue in Barry George's coat helped secure his original conviction but was not permitted in the retrial. The jury of eight women and four men were sent out to deliberate on Wednesday after an eight-week trial. Mr George showed no reaction as the verdict was read out. He nodded as psychiatrist Dr Susan Young, who sat with him in the dock during trial, whispered to him. He is expected to be released later and walk free from the Old Bailey after spending eight years in prison.
