	Guildford Four - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the trial of the Balcombe Street gang in February 1977 the four IRA men instructed their lawyers to "draw attention to the fact that four totally innocent people were serving massive sentences" for three bombings in Woolwich and Guildford.
		The Four tried to make an appeal under Section 17 of (later repealed) but were unsuccessful and, in 1987, the Home Office issued a memorandum recognizing that it was unlikely that the Four were terrorists but that this would not be sufficient evidence for appeal.
		Paul Hill, however, stayed in prison until 1994, when another conviction of his (for murdering a British soldier in Northern Ireland) was overturned.

		The "Guildford Four" - Gerry Conlon, Carole Richardson, Paul Hill and Paddy Armstrong - were wrongly convicted of bombing a pub in the town of Guildford, England, on October 5, 1974.
		The British police used the Prevention of Terrorism Act as its justification for the arrest of the Guildford Four; this law may have led the police to employ the acts of intimidation and torture that were depicted in the film.
		In the aftermath of the Guildford Four's exoneration in 1989, several other legal cases were re-opened, and in nearly all of them, convictions were overturned because the police either suppressed or manufactured evidence and engaged in threatening or violent behavior toward criminal suspects.

	Eureka Street - July-August 2003
		Hill was one of four people—three Irish, one English—who were convicted over the IRA’s bombing of two pubs in Guildford and Woolwich, England in 1974, an attack in which seven people died.
		He knows that the Guildford Four were only saved from languishing in jail for their full terms because of the persistence of ‘investigative journalists who were incredibly good, documentaries on television, and people who firmly believed in us at that stage’.
		Hill says that the system is used to dealing primarily with poor people from the barrios, with little education or understanding of their rights, who are defended by lawyers who themselves are often under threat of death.

		The cases of Judith Ward, the Guildford Four, the Birmingham Six and the Macguire Seven are the archetypal miscarriages of justice; between them they reveal falsified and concealed evidence, police brutality, untrustworthy forensic evidence, and forged confessions.
		Of the various cases, that of the Guildford Four is the most contentious, partly because of the youth of the defendants (the youngest, at 17, still legally a minor), and the absence of any solid evidence outside of their confessions.
		Paul Hill, who was 21 years old at the time, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a recommendation that he never be released.
