JUSTICE Secretary Jack Straw refused an appeal for a pardon by jailed football fan Michael Shields yesterday.
Shields, 22, was jailed for 15 years in Bulgaria in 2005 for the attempted murder of a barman following Liverpool FC's European Cup victory in Turkey. In a provisional decision, Mr Straw was unable to conclude that Shields was "morally and technically innocent", said a Ministry of Justice spokesman.
