A murder convict bidding to be exonerated after 13 years says he is 'rotting behind bars' after a bishop found a key witness by knocking on his door despite the miscarriage of justice watchdog claiming it has been unable to find him in 18 months.
Millionaire playboy Jason Moore, now 55, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 18 years on December 23 2013 after he was convicted of the cold-blooded murder of Robert Darby outside the Valentine pub in Gants Hill, east London.
The professional gambler has always denied murdering the 42-year-old in August 2005 and maintains he was in a parked car near the pub, but never left the vehicle.
Both the families of both Jason and Robert insist that the wrong man is behind bars and their campaign to have him freed has been backed by many ranging from cricket legend Sir Ian Botham to the Bishop of Stepney.
Jason's case was rejected by the Court of Appeal in September 2017 but a bombshell piece of evidence was submitted to the Criminal Case Review Commission (CCRC) in 2023 by the family who hoped it would free him once and for all.
