    1. [IGW] Paul HILL, Northern Ireland - Rush to Judgement
    2. Jean Rice
    3. BIO: He raised his hands above his head and said, "You have the wrong man." In 1975, Paul HILL, a 21-year-old man from Northern Ireland, was sentenced to a lifetime in prison for pub bombings in Britain. It was the longest such sentence by a British court. As the years were taken from him, Hill could do nothing but hold onto his innocence. Fifteen years later, including four years in solitary confinement, Hill was set free when the British government finally admitted that officers lied at the original trial. It might not have happened without the help of family, friends, and the organization "Amnesty International." -- Excerpt, "Irish America" magazine.
