Description:George was released from prison in 1906, due largely to much publicity about the case, and a petition signed by ten thousand people for his release. He was still not pardoned however, was subject to police surveillance, and could not return to his work as a solicitor. Arthur Conan Doyle then took up the case and after investigation proved that George Edalji was innocent. The Edalji case contributed to the establishment of the Court of Criminal Appeal in 1907.
