DRINK & DISCUSS MEETUP

In 1996, Lin Russell and her daughter Megan were murdered in Kent while walking home; Megan’s sister survived a brutal hammer attack. Michael Stone was convicted, but the case remains controversial due to lack of forensic evidence and ongoing claims he may be innocent. Our discussion will focus on the court proceedings, the reliance on cell confession evidence, the subsequent appeals, and how modern forensic advancements might impact long-standing convictions. We conduct this session with the utmost care, sensitivity, and respect.

To help everyone get the most from the discussion, please take some time to familiarise yourself with the case before the meetup.
You’re very welcome to do your own research, and we’ll add recommended resources here soon.
You can also join the Meetup Facebook group, where members can share resources they recommend.
