Justice for Stephen Lawrence

Stephen Lawrence

 

 

 

 

I was watching the news and there was a story about a horrible thing that happened. The story was about the Stephen Lawrence case which happened 18 years ago.

 

We wrote about this in our Blog in June. Stephen was on his way home with his friend Duwayne when they were attacked by a group of white lads.

 

 

Stephen was stabbed and died in this racist attack.

 

 

The police didn’t do a good job so the bullies got away with it. This has been in the news a lot because it made everyone realise that we have to do something about racism.

 

There is a new court case about this murder. Two men called Gary Dobson and David Norris are in court because people say they were in the gang who attacked Stephen.

 

 

The police have found out new things about what happened. They found small pieces from Stephen’s clothes and some of his blood on Gary Dobson’s jacket.

 

 

I’m very angry about what happened to Stephen because it was wrong and racist!

 

 

I like a bit of a joke – but this is not funny!

 

 

I feel mad and upset about it too!

 

 

 

I feel sorry for his family to go through such awful times. We all hope the court case will lead to justice for Stephen, Duwayne and their families.
