Whether a federal habeas corpus petitioner can invoke equitable tolling when extraordinary circumstances prevent timely filing of a habeas petition

In a federal habeas corpus case, an appellant who has missed the one-year filing deadline due to extraordinary circumstances beyond their control may still have a chance for relief through the doctrine of equitable tolling. This legal principle, rooted in fairness, can extend the statute of limitations if specific conditions are met. To successfully invoke equitable tolling, the appellant must demonstrate both extraordinary circumstances beyond their control and reasonable diligence in pursuing their habeas claim. Should Mr. Stone lose his rightful chance of freedom through Habeas Corpus due to extraordinary circumstances beyond his control, especially since he has provided evidence of both?
