Photograph: CPS/PA Two men have finally been convicted of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, 18 years after a white gang fuelled by hatred stabbed the black teenager to death. Gary Dobson, 36, and David Norris, 35, were found guilty of murder on Tuesday by a jury at the Old Bailey. The crime had raised searching questions about racism in Britain. The verdicts were delivered in a silent courtroom after the judge ordered everyone to remain quiet. Dobson shook his head as the guilty verdict was announced. Norris stared ahead. As he was led away to the cells, Dobson looked at the press bench and the jury and said: "You have condemned an innocent man here today I hope you can all live with it." In the public gallery his mother, Pauline Dobson was heard sobbing. As she walked away she said: "This is so wrong he did not kill that man he is innocent."
