No not that Michael Stone convicted of murder the other Michael Stone convicted of murder, for the killing of Lin and Megan Russell (and also of the attempted murder of Josie Russell).
The case was one of the notorious trifecta of UKian murder cases of the 1990s, along with Colin Stagg and Barry George, both later cleared despite police obstructionism.
Th case against Stone, a fairly terrible human being, was weak to the point of non-existence; a dubious witness, a bootlace never connected to him and a trio of prisoners who alleged they heard Stone confess (one admitted lying , one was paid and the third even the prosecution admitted was unreliable).
Stone continued to maintain his innocence and has refused to apply for parole.
