Stephen Lawrence lived for 18 years, 7 months and 9 days. It has taken 18 years, 8 months and 12 days to bring his racist killers to justice.
“I compare Dobson and Norris’s upbringing to the way I brought my son up and I am not really blaming them. I blame the parents. If you instil hatred into your child, then that child has hatred. If they had tried to get it out of them, they wouldn’t have done what they did to Stephen.”
— Neville Lawrence on his son’s killers, who have been found guilty of his murder nearly 19 years after it was committed. A truly remarkable man.
