Liverpool fan, Michael Shields was released yesterday after Jack Straw gave him a Royal Pardon.
In 2005 after Liverpool`s win in the Champions League final in Istanbul a waiter was killed and Michael Shields was arrested and charged with the murder even though he pleased innocent and even though there was lack of evidence and that somebody else had confessed to the murder and I have to say its about time isnt it?
Why had it taken so long to free him when it was clear he was innocent. What NEW evidence had come to light 4 YEARS later that meant that he was innocent.
I`m glad he is free as it is a clear miscarrige aof justice and the goverment here and in Bulgaria owe him more than a Royal Pardon, they owe him thier deepest apologies and an explanation of why it taken them so long to free him.

Not to sure about all the facts of the case Joe, but if it is the case he was Innocent then he should have been set free.
I did hear a bit about in on the J.Vine show today, there was some guy from Bulgaria on it saying our government was out of order as he have been found guilty over there.
Lets hope he can move on and get his life back together, I would expect the time he spent in the Bulgarian prison would not have been to pleasant.
