Description

Crowds were gathering outside the Old Bailey well before dawn this morning as the Guildford Four were driven to the hearing to confirm their release after 15 years in prison wrongfully convicted of IRA pub bombings on false confessions extracted by police. As anxious relatives waited for the judgement, Paul Hill’s aunt Teresa Smalley spoke to reporters.
