Good choice, however, you made a small mistake there with Giuseppe Conlon: He wasn't convicted of being part of the Guildford 4, he was accused of & convicted of being a member of the Maguire 7.

Gerry, his friend Paul Hill, & 2 others who were boyfriend & girlfriend were accused & convicted of being the Guildford 4, meaning that the police believed that they were the ones who planted the bomb in the pubs in Guildford.

Giuseppe was accused along with Gerry's aunt & her family of making the bombs that exploded the pubs.

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make your signature!
