M25 Three The M25 Three were Raphael George Rowe, Michael George Davis, and Randolph Egbert Johnson, who were jailed for life at the Old Bailey in March 1990 after being found guilty of murder and robbery. The name was taken from the location of the crimes, which were committed around the M25, London's orbital motorway, during the early hours of 16 December 1988. The original trial took place between January and February 1990, resulting in all three being convicted of the murder of Peter Hurburgh, causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Timothy Napier and several robberies. Each was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder and given substantial sentences for the other offences. Davis also pleaded guilty to separate charges of robbery and Johnson to robbery and rape, offences committed during the commission of an earlier burglary several days before the murder. For these crimes, Davis was sentenced to ten years and Johnson to twelve years. All sentences were concurrent. Rowe also had previous convictions, including malicious wounding.

Shonelle Jackson Shonelle Jackson is an American prison inmate currently on Alabama's death row. In 1997, at the age of 19, Jackson was arrested for the murder of Lefrick Moore that occurred during the commission of a robbery in Montgomery, Alabama. During the investigation, Jackson initially told detectives that he did not know the three other co-defendants, and was not present at the time of the murder. Montgomery Police Detective Andrew Signore, having learned from the other defendants that just prior to the murder Jackson had purchased a soft drink from a local drive-thru, informed him that his fingerprints were found on a Dairy Queen cup located inside the victim's stolen vehicle. At the time, Detective Signore did not know if any latent fingerprints had been discovered on the cup, but advanced this deception in an effort to encourage Jackson to admit to knowing the other defendants, and being present with them at some point during the night of the murder. Jackson then admitted that he knew the other defendants and had been with them earlier in the day prior to the murder. He then asked to amend his statement a third time to admit he was present at the time of the murder and was armed with a .380 handgun. Following a jury trial, he was found guilty of capital murder. In sentencing Jackson, the presiding judge, William Gordon, overrode the jury's unanimous recommendation of a life sentence, and instead imposed the death sentence. Judicial override of a jury's sentencing recommendation is permitted under Alabama law. Later, in a sworn deposition, juror Jan Burkes expressed uncertainty that Jackson, one of four defendants charged with this crime, fired the shot that killed Moore.
