George Ernest Thompson Edalji (22 January 1876 – 17 June 1953) was an English solicitor and son of a vicar of Parsi descent in a Staffordshire village. He became known as a victim of a miscarriage of justice for having served three years' hard labour after being convicted on a charge of injuring a pony. He was initially regarded having been responsible for the series of animal mutilations known as the 'Great Wyrley Outrages', but the prosecution case against him became regarded as weak and prejudiced. He was pardoned on the grounds of the conviction being an unsafe one after a campaign in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took a prominent role. The difficulty in overturning the conviction of Edalji was cited as showing that a better mechanism was needed for reviewing unsafe verdicts, and it was

  • George Ernest Thompson Edalji (březen 1876, West Midlands, Velká Británie – 17. červen 1953, , Velká Británie) byl advokát, který se stal obětí anglického justičního systému. V roce 1903 byl nespravedlivě odsouzen na 7 let vězení za úmyslné mrzačení koní. Jeho případ se stal známým po celém světě poté, co na Edaljiho nevinu začal poukazovat spisovatel sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (cs)
  • George Ernest Thompson Edalji (* März 1876; † 17. Juni 1953 in Welwyn Garden City) war ein Solicitor aus den englischen West Midlands, der 1906 als Opfer eines britischen Justizirrtums und durch den Einsatz des Schriftstellers Arthur Conan Doyle für seine Sache europaweit bekannt wurde. George Edalji wurde 1903 beschuldigt, ein Pferd verstümmelt und lebensgefährlich verletzt zu haben. Er wurde zunächst schuldig gesprochen und saß drei Jahre lang im Zuchthaus. Erst nachdem Conan Doyle sich für ihn eingesetzt und selbst Untersuchungen zu seinem Fall durchgeführt hatte, wurde das Urteil aufgehoben. (de)
  • Дело Эдалджи (иногда ещё называемое «делом близорукого индуса») — осуждение британского юриста, парса по отцу Джорджа Эдалджи (англ. George Edalji) по обвинению в убийстве домашнего скота и борьба за его реабилитацию. Вызвало значительный общественный резонанс. Показало несовершенство британской юридической системы, а также ксенофобию в отношении туземных выходцев из колоний. Артур Конан Дойль, ставший главным защитником Эдалджи, сравнивал его дело с делом Дрейфуса. (ru)
