<Slug>028 LAWRENCE CAPLAN</Slug>
<TEXT>Two men will be sentenced later, after being found guilty of the racist murder
of teenager Stephen Lawrence yesterday.

He was stabbed to death in Eltham, south east London, nearly 19 years ago.

Gary Dobson and David Norris were under 18 at the time, so will be treated as
juveniles.

Criminal law solicitor Michael Caplan says the judge has a lot to consider
when sentencing them.
