But most of my info came from this site and links posted on this site. For a long time now, Shield's plight hasn't been been an active topic on here, and i've only seen opinions (biased i am sure) on other supporter sites. Last i heard he was/has been transfered back to england to serve the sentence, but that may have been blocked, i dunno.
I know i can just google it, but is there any reason to doubt his innocence? bearing in mind i can accept that the trial itself was not balanced.
There is no overwhelming evidence to link Michael to the incident other than the word of people who claim to have seen him.
The trial was a sham and not only has the trial proved to have been unfair a man has claimed it was him (and not Michael) who was responsible.
I saw Michaels dad again on Wednesday, and he looked like he had aged 20 years.
Sad on his family, and Michael who's behaviour has been exemplary.
