You tell me:
By Greg O'Keeffe, Liverpool Echo
THE father of innocent Michael Shields has landed in Bulgaria and declared: "I've come to bring home my son."
Michael Shields snr was breaking news of three key developments as he visited his son in Varna jail.
* Graham Sankey has signed a confession, faxed by the ECHO to Bulgaria yesterday.
* The Bulgarian government will put pressure on the country's judiciary to reopen the case.
* Lawyers for Michael were today lodging an official complaint against Sankey, the first step to arrest and extradition proceedings.
The ECHO exclusively revealed the developments in later editions of yesterday's paper, but Michael was unaware of them as he languished in his Bulgarian jail cell.
Mr Shields, 45, is confident his 18-year-old son can be freed on bail now that electrician Sankey has officially admitted the paving slab attack his son was jailed for.
Speaking moments after arriving in Varna, Mr Shields said: "We've had so many ups and downs but I'm not going to give up.
"I'm going to fight with every breath in my body, even if it's my last breath.
"Even if it puts me six foot under, I have promised I will get my boy home to his mother."
Mr Shields, with his daughter Melissa, 26, was today visiting Michael in prison.
Michael was being told his legal team were beginning the process of getting Everton fan Sankey extradited.
That could begin today when Bulgarian authorities contact Mersey-side police to urge them to arrest the 20-year-old Anfield man.
