LONDON – Jurors in the trial of two men accused of murdering Stephen Lawrence retired yesterday to consider their verdicts.
Gary Dobson (36) and David Norris (35), both from southeast London, deny murdering the black teenager, who was killed n a racist attack in Eltham, southeast London, in April 1993. The trial, which began at the Old Bailey on November 14th, is in its seventh week. The historic court was opened especially this week during the holiday period so that the case could continue between Christmas and New Year.
