THE CASE of a Bradford man, convicted of being the getaway driver in the Barry Selby acid attack murder, will be re-examined on a TV show tomorrow.

New evidence, which Andrew Feather's family is aiming to present to the Criminal Case Review Commission, will be studied by a panel of jurors on satellite TV show The Jury Room.

Feather, who is 27 tomorrow, was jailed for a minimum of 26 years in 2014 after he was convicted of murder under the principle of joint enterprise, which allows secondary participants to be found guilty.

Feather, of Heysham Drive, Holme Wood, maintained he was elsewhere in his car at the time of the murder, however, the prosecution presented detailed CCTV evidence to prove his gold Vauxhall Astra was at the scene.

But his family says it has uncovered fresh evidence that demonstrates the timings on some of the CCTV was incorrect, discrediting the footage. Relatives are calling for a retrial so that the new reports can be heard.

Last year Feather, and his three co-accused - Lee Calvert, Robert Woodhead and Joseph Lowther - had appeals against their convictions thrown out. But each had their minimum jail sentences cut. Feather now has to serve 20 years.

His sister, 31-year-old student nurse Rebecca Wright, said the new CCTV evidence was not allowed to be presented to the Court of Appeal because it was out of time.

But she said it would form the thrust of his case to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, as well as being given as evidence in The Jury Room.

She said: "It will be interesting to see what the TV jury decides. If it finds Andrew not guilty it is going to help him. Even if it thinks he was guilty, it won't stop his case going to the Criminal Cases Review Commission."

She added: "We have mentioned the programme to Andrew, and he is happy about it.

"I know we will be open to criticism again, but we have kept our dignity. We'll keep doing what we are doing for Andrew. We have said from the beginning that he was innocent and we will prove it."

The new series re-examines murder cases where the convicted killer has always maintained their innocence. A former detective chief inspector presents the case for the prosecution and a barrister speaks for the defence. The jury, selected from members of the public, then decides on its verdict.

Feather's barrister, Matt Stanbury, appears for the defence on the programme.

He said: "I was contacted by the programme's producer about Andrew's case, and later was asked to be involved in the show. The fresh evidence is the main theme of the show. It is quite a useful exercise."

Mr Stanbury added: "I think Andrew had a strong appeal and the case for a retrial was close to overwhelming."

Feather's mother, Michelle Feather, said: "It is only a reality programme, but I hope it is a good verdict because the more people that say it is not right the better it is for him. Regardless of the outcome we know we have strong evidence."

Barry Selby, 50, died after sulphuric acid was poured over him by intruders at his home in Rayleigh Street, East Bowling, Bradford, in 2013.

The Jury Room can be seen on CBS Reality from 10pm tomorrow.
