Yet. The appeals process seems to have been moving in that direction. One reason people are more supportive of this in the UK than in the US is because they've heard more about the suppressed evidence that has come to light. If that evidence had been allowed in trial he almost certainly would have been found not guilty. Instead, they were faced with a tragedy and an outraged public and needed someone to punish sooner rather than later. This guy seemed reasonably shady enough that they were able to justify it to themselves as they denied him the ability to fully defend himself.
