Stephen Lawrence killer admits role but refuses to name accomplices - BBC News https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cewn99k9l7zo
David Norris during his parole hearing has finally admitted his part in the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
He evaded justice for 19yrs so has only served about 12 years for an abhorrent crime that shocked the nation.
I am of the opinion like the family of Stephen that Norris should not be considered for parole until he reveals who carried out the killing with him.
Only Norris and Gary Dobson were finally convicted of his murder although there was a gang of at least 5 present.

I'm in favour of increased sentences for all violent crime.

Been thinking on this today, and there is a growing movement where killers have to give up where they hid bodies previous (that've remained unfound) before they can be considered for release. Thing is, would criminals get cute and simply name a few people that are now dead and thus unable to clear themselves of an allegation. It becomes a difficult part of a crime to check. Wondering why at least one is up for a parole plea so early and it's because of juvenile sentencing (norris was 16 when he took part in the gang attack) and so minimum term was applied at 12 years.
It is worth remembering that the macpherson inquiry found a certain london establishment institutionally racist, that's well before the casey report found what it did about the very same firm of criminals.

It brought it all back to me also the worst thing about the episode is Stephen was a grade A student coming back from an evening out with his friend bothering no one and was chased and set about and left for dead with multiple stab wounds, no way should anyone serve only 12 years for being involved in that.
I don't believe a word he's said in the statement released today, hopefully it will be some considerable time before he's released.

I reread his injuries earlier on, and am distraught that he dragged himself up to run away like he did mortally injured. I want to believe that his murder stood for something and meant a sea change in attitude.

I want.

A piece of rope and a false floor is the only appropriate justice for that crime and the years of silence.

@Ming the Merciful like to previous post made me smile !!!.
I'm of the opinion unless the others involved are named, there is no discussion to be had. Regardless Though, for not coming clean in the beginning, parole should not be in place for at a minimum say 20+ years.
