Oliver Cromwell (shown here) was implicated along with David Stain in the Barron murder. Stain and Cromwell spent thirteen years in jail before being found innocent of the charges, which were brought about largely by stories made up by Stain's vindictive son. Cromwell was represented by an inexperienced public defender named Lewis Barker, who tried to prove that Barron committed suicide. Both Cromwell and Stain were eventually pardoned by Governor Powers.
