First, a quick recap for the uninitiated. Kenny Noye is the mastermind behind the Brink’s-Mat gold heist in 1983. That’s $38 million in gold bullion. Gone. Poof. But he’s way more famous for something else.
He stabbed a guy to death in a road rage incident. That guy? A police officer named Stephen Cameron. But wait—it’s not that simple. Noye claimed self-defense. The jury believed him the first time. Acquitted. Can you imagine that? Getting away with killing a cop in broad daylight?
But justice has a funny way of catching up. Later, he got 20 years for murder after a separate manslaughter conviction. Yeah, it’s a mess. But here’s the fun part: he’s not in prison anymore.
