If thre was anything the Met would have let this information out to friendly journalists long ago.

Tooting Gull said:You have completely missed the point of this thread. What is being claimed by the documentary is that much of the 'evidence' that was there and might have been used to get a conviction was either destroyed, ignored or covered up by a corrupt police officer. The system failed to test the evidence properly in front of the jury. What was left after this wanker of a policeman had finished with it wouldn't have convicted Hitler.
London Calling said:As far as I can recall. The Met originlly failed to find any evidence againgst these five men.
Uncle Spielberg said:Nice blokes those 5 , hurling fists, laughing and spitting in the faces of the mainly Black people outside the court, makes yer proud to be British

1 looney, as usual you spout your deranged bnp influenced bollocks. There is no evidence anywhere outside of deranged bnp propaganda that Stephen was a drug dealer. None at all.
2. not sure if anyone has mentioned this but only 2 of the 5 were accquited at the private prosecution. The other 3 had charges dropped before it came to court and so could possibly be charged if 'new' evidence came to light.

The area is a central part of the Charlton fans catchment area (our training ground is just down the road) so most Charlton fans are aware of what actually happened.
Stephen Lawrence was not a drug dealer with £20k drug money in his bank account who wandered round raping white girls, etc. That is basic Nazi-style propaganda spread by the BNP, and is one of the things that got Nick Griffin charged with incitement to racial hatred. It's basically crap that he would spout in his speaches to try and inflame the BNP's simpleton chav cannon fodder. His other claim was the even more laughable assertion that no white people were involved and Stephen was killed by a "rival Negro gang" (the BNP's words, not mine).
In actual fact, Stephen Lawrence was simply in the wrong place with the wrong person. Two gangs of lads - one white, one black - were involved in selling drugs in pubs in the area. There was rivalry between them, some of which was racially driven (it's a nasty racist area - one of the reasons the BNP has its national headquarters in the area).
The person Stephen Lawrence was with was associated with the black drugs gang, Stephen himself wasn't. When the white drugs gang spotted him, they ran towards the pair. The person Stephen was with, recognising the rival firm, did a runner. Stephen, not having a clue what was going on (as he wasn't part of that drug dealing scene) stood there looking confused. And was stabbed to death.
So yes drug dealing was an issue, but no, the victim himself was not in any way involved in it.
Most people suspect that any shock new evidence is not going to relate to the suspects themselves, but to a bent copper who was taking bribes from the dealers both before and after the incident, and is believed by most people in the local area to have been responsible for suppressing and tainting vital evidence in this case.
No, you spouted some tittle-tattle about the Richardson gang - a gang split up over 30 years ago. The insitutional racism was on the part of the police. Drug dealers don't have an institution, so how can it be institutional racism?looney said:That really isn't much different to what I said apart from being an associate of a drug dealer than an actual drug dealer.
Still in time most the truth will come out.

There's a MASSIVE difference between being a drug dealer and knowing a drug dealer. A marketing man runs your favourite football club - does that make you a media whore by default?
