Stephen Lawrence murder: Gary Dobson and David Norris await sentencing because pair were juveniles, and law was less tough on racist crimes in 1993
Wednesday 4
January 2012
Gary Dobson and David Norris, the two men convicted of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, will be sentenced today. The pair, who were 17 and 16 at the time of the murder, will receive a sentence that takes into account as a starting point the fact that they were juveniles at the time of the fatal stabbing. But Mr Justice Treacy, the trial judge, will also take aggravating factors into account: specifically that the murder was racist, and also that the pair realised one of their group might use a knife.
Had they committed the crime in the last year, Dobson and Norris would expect to receive much tougher sentences, with minimum terms of 25 years for a racially aggravated knife murder. Stephen Lawrence murder:
