Stephen Lawrence: Justice For A Murdered Son Part 4

[@airsofter2247]

What an amazing friend Dwayne was for Stephen, even showing up to give evidence the day after his father passed

[@garthzares]

This case was a watershed in British race relations ... thank goodness for people like the Lawrences who are so inspirational.

[@ezekielbenisrael1962]

@Jayboo Menendez you shut t f up you wap looking fool.

[@kellinepickett4979]

Thank God they finally finished this. It's just sad that only two of them were prosecuted.

[@andrewells7441]

so true

[@blackishtruth]

such an injustice..RIP Stephen Lawrence x

[@uhegbu]

I watched this as a testament to the 20th anniversary of Stephen Lawrence. I was 12 at the time but these two wonderful parents have gone the extra mile to get justice after a little more than eighteen and a half years. How a family and a community should be. RIP Stephen Lawrence.

[@joportillo1305]

what a strong family to battle on for a good son. its such a shame that ignorance still exists.

[@jimattwater2124]

I'd have sued the police department for gross negligence and incompetence. It makes me sick that racism ever existed!

[@chiragbhatt5332]

It still does

[@pix046]

It is not called a police department.

[@clairepettie]

Any amount of material gain born out of consequences arising from the murder of your child is not anywhere near as important as it is in countries such as the USA, justice is served on the accused in the UK - not for material gain of 3rd party victims. For having such unconditional determination, both Doreen and Neville will be remembered and respected for generations. Let’s not forget their achievements in improving the standard of policing, the law on double jeopardy and race relations in the UK, which we should all be very grateful for. RIP Stephen

[@joportillo123]

sorry they had to go so many years without justice for such a good son and friend

[@sandraboyer9680]

Perhaps the U.S. should consider changing our double jeopardy laws. Prosecutors often hold back because they know they only one chance. Let a jury hear what they have and let them decide. Perhaps criminals can be removed from society sooner and provide justice for the victims, not the criminal.

God bless Stephen, Doreen and Neville

I love every true crime show you put on your Channel. Enjoy them immensely 👍😁 Please keep up the good work.

[@barbaralamson7450]

I love Stephen's family. So glad justice has been served.

[@kitkat2853]

The fact that there were several racist comments left on this site is so disheartening. Small minded racist "people" who are nothing but offensive to civilized society. Must take a lot of energy to hate so much so I guess all I can do is feel sorry for them. Bless the family of this poor man and their struggle to find justice for him. I'd like to hope that this case changed some laws regarding discrimination but only time will tell. When will people ever learn - our blood is all the same.

[@darthvaderoftheredpill5196]

I don't feel sorry for them I'm ready to rip them apart.

[@DDavis-mi2cg]

The hate within some humans....only in death do they truly pay the price of their tortured souls.

[@gemma5632]

Amazing strength and dignity from The Lawrence family. They've been put through hell but they never once let it beat them or stop them! Incredible family!

[@chaserkitty]

I don't call a minimum of a 15 year and 13 sentence justice! Especially when you've evaded justice for 18 years since committing the original crime. How can another human being be so full of hate towards another person who has done absolutely nothing to cause you harm.

[@MonatheVampire81]

That thumb nail, sums up what a demon looks like. Rest in peace Mr Lawrence.

[@Bencsac]

There are some truly shameful comments on here that make me feel sick to my stomach.

[@knightyknight5399]

Very much agree with you, to much shameful uneducated comments........

[@Jay4houghts]

cat stone me too. discrimination destroys the mind making the person hateful and quick to open their mouths with anger rather than thinking. But I forgive these racists in the hope 1 day they will be educated and humble.

[@truthhitman7473]

I only forgive when they repent.

[@StellaGizzi]

That’s love right there. God bless the Lawrence family. RIP Stephen ❤️

RIP Stephen 👊🏿 your name lives on and wish those cowards hell on earth 🌎!

[@sarahdrenth1540]

The ripple effect of violence is awful, even where all the right things are done to catch and successfully prosecute the offenders. The trauma suffered by Stephen's family and friends was and is unimaginable in this case.

[@KeithWilliamMacHendry]

Guid laddie Stephen, you are loved.

[@Wifeno2]

Well done to the family and friends of STEPHEN

[@JimTLonW6]

Sadly there are many racists watching You Tube; you can guarantee that on any old film of a British city somebody will pop up with a racist comment, usually not long after the video is published. Try a look at some of the old BFI films.

[@onionspice1671]

I always think how that last moment would have been for victim. My God it gives me heartache to even imagine. UK law system need to be Tuff.. its too much weak

[@johnspencer8268]

God bless stephen doreen and neville. he was a good guy but he's in a good place this is so sad

[@duped999]

Racism in the UK is endemic. It is a product of the indigenous culture born of a superiority complex that remains today albeit more subtle in form. More worryingly, institutionalized racism is ever present and thus, the very fibre of this society is the cause of the racial unrest in all its forms. Accordingly, minorities will continue to feel foreign, rejected for their racial inferiority. It is a common trait of an island nation and as such, a genetic mutation.

[@vision-oe7hx]

The other three should've got charged with murder.

[@teallaidh]

What about the other ones? It was more than just two that attacked him?

[@chiragbhatt5332]

Now justice for all in them days no justice for the coloured, but now things have changed but racism still occurs it will never end.

[@marciam6224]

Rest In Peace in the Father's arms in Heaven, Stephen. The laws against double jeopardy need to be amended if new evidence comes to light that proves the person guilty.

[@Charles-uu7gp]

This is not fucking justice, the guy lost his life, his family turned apart, you could see all of the world pain in his father's face and after 18 years 2 of the six animals sent to jail, that's it? What about fucking policemen who was the main reason of this injustice?

[@adedamolaadeleke1316]

An innocent teenager only killed for his skin colour

[@teallaidh]

You're welcome, glad you took that well i didnt want u to think I was being a swot lol :)

[@Wifeno2]

Also there was a comment made in the first or second section on how late Stephen & his friend were out! It was only 10.30pm not early hours in the morning! To say they were out late & selling drugs is wrong this wasn't even something brought into evidence.

[@adedamolaadeleke1316]

The anthony walker moment was awfully insane

[@Jeanne90275]

sad...that the family had to wait so long for justice; also sad that the other 3 went free. however, double jeopardy should not be abolished because of 1 case. special cases make bad law.

[@tuesdayschild8994]

So cruel that his life was taken but such senseless hate. What was to be gained and how painful for the family.

[@RaikenXion]

I really wish there can be justice for Stephen. That Dobson guy has came out now, so I really wish the others would too. Time can really change a person, if only they realized the best thing they could do now is just own up and face the consequences. In America they would've been on Death row by now.

[@teallaidh]

the compelling evidence was the blood, hair and fibres on their clothes, obviously

[@Gary80264]

I remember the father of the girls that was murdered by Ian Huntley. One of them said that the only news he wants to hear, when he went through hell. He replied the only way I I witnessed my daughter and Ian Huntley should be in a coffin. Same as the suspects that killed Stephen Lawrence. The only way they should go and that is straight in a coffin.

[@KenyanBunnie]

Anyone know what sentences they each got? Found an article saying Life but another said 15 years?

[@thornbird6768]

15 years 3 months and 14 years 3 months .

[@shaunigothictv1003]

Alot of people have already pointed out that the verbal dialect and speaking accent of modern young Londoners nowadays has certainly become very Jamaicanized - compared to the old cockney accent /dialect of the white Londoners interviewed by the police in the investigation. (Jamie, Neil, David, Gary, Luke) But allow me to point out that the mindset of many young Londoners regarding the carrying of knives remains the same whether they are Black or White. Violence is violence - the only difference is that its less about race nowadays and more about power and control - regardless of the skin colour of the victims versus the skin colour of the perpetrators.

[@duped999]

"immoral, unthinking, unintelligent, unpredictable, violent and most unwelcome in civilised countries..." - judging from your rant, these are quite clearly authentic expressions of your own personality.

[@caroline4800]

People like these murderous boys need to be wiped out of society. Not only do they have nothing to add but they murder someone who would have contributed and devestated a nation in the process. Long may they rot in jail where they belong. They are not a patch on Stepnen - RIP Stephen x

Upon visiting the U.K., Brits have remarked to me about the racism in the States but it became apparent to me after visiting the U.K. several times that although they remarked on the log in the eye of the U.S, they did not notice the log that was in their own.

I feel a little uncomfortable about the verdicts. Yes, they did it, and they should have been caught (and if the police had done their jobs and collected evidence they would have been) but they were convicted without evidence, and if that is done then the law has been broken.

[@ChrisGWGreen]

“A bright able black young man” could also be said “a bright able young man”. Why the distinction?

[@JennyAmponsah]

I guess because it was a racially motivated attack and black men were given a bad reputation at the time for being troublemakers.

[@iansettle7764]

They picked the weakest 2 of the group and went to work on just them 2 I'm not saying they don't deserve the sentence...right they do, but the lot of them, we know over the years some did a bit better than others and by the time this trial happened 1s dad's a gangster involved with bent copper's even thought police were paid off anyway that along with what I said before the lamest 2 get the...dam good riddance I say, but the fact fa happened to the rest is something I just couldn't live with, so respect to the Lawrence family for their strength and bravery...rest in slumber Stephen Lawrence 😔

Slightly suspect dna evidence. Finding a hair and fibres on his clothing? 🤔

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

When blood spatters tiny amounts can go everywhere and little drops dry very quickly and are so small they're invisible to the naked eye. Blood and DNA can literally be lifted from any surface these days due to advances in forensic science. How do you think Sarah Payne's killer was caught? They found her DNA and fibres in his van and on the velcro strap of her shoe velcro holds every and anything it comes into contact with. Identifying and using DNA did not come about until 1986 I think by professor Alec Jefferies and it was so sought after his lab had requests from all over the world from police forces and the FBI before his discovery was utilised and put into practise and with the new advances your practically leave your DNA amd fingerprints anywhere
