INVESTIGATION: Could DNA advances overturn one of Britain's most famous murder cases?

The podcast explores the conviction of Michael Stone for a 30-year-old murder, questioning the safety of his conviction. Sunday Times reporter Emily Dugan, who specializes in potential miscarriages of justice, highlights the lack of forensic evidence linking Stone to the crime scene, relying instead on dubious cell confessions. Despite Stone's history of violence, his barrister, Mark McDonald, argues the absence of direct or forensic evidence and the unreliability of the confession evidence. The discussion covers the potential retesting of old evidence using modern forensic techniques and a possible new suspect, serial killer Levi Belfield, who confessed to the crime but later retracted it. The CCRC is re-evaluating the case, but progress is slow, and the victims' family is re-traumatized by the reopening of the case.
