Version 0 of 1.

One of the two men jailed for the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence has lost a bid to challenge his conviction.

Three judges at the court of appeal in London rejected an application brought by David Norris. He had made a renewed application seeking permission to appeal against his murder conviction.

Gary Dobson, the second man jailed for life for the murder, had previously dropped his appeal.

A gang of five or six white young people set upon the 18-year-old A-level student Lawrence in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993.

Friday's application was thrown out by Lord Justice Leveson, Mr Justice Foskett and Mr Justice Hickinbottom.
