After originally being aquitted of the murder of Stephen Lawrence in Eltham, South London in 1993, Gary Dobson and David Norris will now face trial for murder again after changes in the Double Jeopardy laws which used to not allow someone who has been tried for murder to face the charge for a second time.
Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, sitting at the Court of Appeal in London with Mrs Justice Rafferty and Mr Justice Holroyde, said new scientific evidence has come to light that justifies the quashing of Dobson's original acquittal.
The trial is due to be held at the Old Bailey in November, although another hearing has been scheduled in the next two months.
