Stephen Lawrence: The Murder That Shamed Britain - Part 2
Manage episode 275816013 series 2815135
The collapse of a private prosecution over the senseless racist murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, and the swaggering behaviour of the five prime suspects at an inquest felt like 'two fingers up at justice', says ex top prosecution lawyer Nazir Afzal. Widespread anger in Britain, and a sense of justice failing to be done, paved the way for a very tense night in the Daily Mail newsroom. Acclaimed crime writer Stephen Wright was there as the paper prepared its famous 'Murderers' front page.
