A British court has convicted two men of the 1993 murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, a landmark case that exposed "institutional racism" among the London police force and led to a change in law allowing suspects to be tried twice for the same crime.
The 18-year-old school student was stabbed to death at a bus stop in southeast London in an unprovoked attack by a gang of five white young men who shouted racist epithets.
Gary Dobson, 36, and David Norris, 35, both white men, were found guilty after three days of deliberations by a British jury on Tuesday after a six-week trial that hinged on new scientific evidence presented by prosecutors. They are scheduled for sentencing on Wednesday.
