'Who Killed Jill Dando?' features Barry George, the man acquitted of the BBC TV presenter's murder. Here's what he's doing now.

As explained in the Netflix documentary, Barry George, who was 40 at the time of his arrest in May, lived a short distance away from Dando's home on Gowan Avenue in Fulham, London, and was placed at the scene by witnesses who said they saw him on the street just hours before her death.

George was convicted of murder in July 2001 after the prosecution presented a single particle of gunshot residue found in his coat pocket, which they argued was from the weapon that killed Dando.

George appealed the verdict on the grounds that the forensic evidence wasn't substantial enough to identify him as the killer, but his appeal was dismissed.

George was eventually granted a retrial in 2008 after an episode of the BBC's current affairs program "Panorama" looking into the case raised questions about the evidence presented in the original trial.

George's conviction was overturned in August 2008, and he was acquitted of Dando's murder.

In a statement after he was cleared of the charges, George said: "I am overwhelmed. I want to thank my family, legal team, and all the people who have supported me in prison and around the country."

In 2009, George won damages from News Group Newspapers, which featured articles in its newspapers that suggested he was responsible for Dando's death, among other accusations, the Guardian reported at the time.

George contested reports in The Sun and News of the World that he had stalked British TV presenter Kay Burley, and that he was fixated on Pam Wright, the wife of convicted serial killer Steve Wright.

George also said that the News of the World had made up a quote that read: "I didn't kill Jill Dando – I was stalking someone else at the time."

NGN settled with George, agreeing to pay him damages, and offered him an apology.

At the time, George said: "I am pleased that the matter between me and News Group Newspapers has been amicably settled following successful mediation and without the need for litigation."

George won further damages in 2010 from Mirror Group Newspapers, publisher of the Sunday Mirror newspaper and the Daily Mirror website, over articles that suggested he was obsessed with Kay Burley and pop star Cheryl Cole, the BBC reported at the time.

MGN paid George damages and also covered his legal fees.

George appears throughout Netflix's "Who Killed Jill Dando?" to discuss the toll his conviction and subsequent acquittal have had on his life.

"It makes me angry that they have taken eight years of my life," he said in the documentary.

The series also features George's sister, Michelle Diskin Bates, who was a key figure in campaigning to get justice for her brother.

It's explained that after he was released from prison, George, now 63, moved to Ireland to live with Michelle.

He said: "I live in Ireland now. It's quiet here. You're treated like a scab in London, but you're not here."
