...well of the famous conviction at least.

FREE GEORGE DAVIS!!!!!!

Back in the 70s when no bridge or cricket ground in London was safe from having GD's supporters applying 'George Davis is Innocent' to it, I remember seeing a report that someone, perhaps an off duty copper, had added 'Oh no he isn't' to one on a railway bridge.

The judgement doesn't quite say innocent, it says the conviction was unsafe. I think this was evident at the time which is why he was released.
So don't know what good this will do him but I am pleased to be reminded of the days when he was a household name.

I remember the campaign to free him in the 70s, his name was dubbed everywhere in London at the time, its taken a long time to clear his name...

I wonder if there's any trace left of the slogan on a bridge or wall somewhere.

"its taken a long time to clear his name..."

As his barrister said, if George Davis hadn't been caught robbing a bank in 1977 the 1975 conviction for robbing a bank might have been quashed years ago.

Yes, that certainly didn't help. That said, it must be galling, even for a villain, to be done for one you didn't actually do. If nothing else it might have involved a police stitch up, as they thought it was Davis' turn.
