Two men have been convicted of the racist murder of black London teenager Stephen Lawrence 18 years after the attack.
Gary Dobson, 36, and David Norris, 35, were found guilty by an Old Baily jury after a trial based on new forensic.
Scientists found a tiny blood stain on Dobson's jacket that could only have come from Mr Lawrence.
As he was led away, he told the jury they had condemned an "innocent man". Sentencing will be on Wednesday.
and it only took 18 years
British legal system
At least they weren't protected by the double-jeopardy rule.
Lock the scum up and throw away the key.
From the bits and pieces I heard in the paper the evidence against them doesn't seem that strong.
Good verdict imo. For once you have got to hand it to the Daily Mail, but only this once...

blood on his clothes that came from the victim seems pretty conclusive to be honestOriginally Posted by Letters
Wasn't there all kinds of claim and counter-claim that the samples had been contaminated or something?
I dunno.
I don't think it's an open and shut case, if it was they'd have been convicted the first time, non?
This that coloured fella?
There was a forensic review of the case and there have been significant scientific advances since 1993.
