I only caught last nights programme and the one just finished where Michael Stone came face to face with the wife and brother of a man he has 'admitted' to killing. It turned out to be unbelievably moving and to see the willingness of Dermot Hackett's family to forgive the man who directly had a hand in their husband/brothers/fathers murder.
There is now part closure for that family, but there never will be for Stone. It was very hard to decipher whether he was truthful in everything he was saying and whether the man is drained of emotion or not. He sat motionless and stone faced (excuse the pun) for much of the forum and never fully stated his detachment from Loyalism. He said he was "politically jaded"- which seemed to be a nice way of saying, 'I've had enough of this but I still hold firm in what I believed'.
