Stephen Lawrence: The Murder That Shamed Britain - Part 5

Beyond Reasonable Doubt

Nearly 19 years after Stephen Lawrence was 'swallowed up' by a gang of white youths who shouted racist abuse at him before stabbing him to death, two of the original prime suspects stood in the dock at the Old Bailey. But would the new DNA evidence hold up almost two decades on - and would guilty verdicts really deliver justice for the Stephen's long-suffering family? Acclaimed crime writer Stephen Wright talks to police, forensic scientists and the French eyewitness who gave evidence at the landmark trial.
