1987, 27-year-old Gilbert "Danny" McNamee was sentenced at the Old Bailey to 25 years in prison for the Hyde Park bombing despite his plea that he was innocent. In 1998, shortly after his release under the Good Friday Agreement, an appeal judge quashed his conviction, deeming it "unsafe" because of withheld fingerprint evidence that implicated other bomb-makers.
However, the Appeal Court judges said there was 'strong evidence' that he had been involved in an explosives plot in England in the Eighties.
He served 12 years in prison before being released under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
