Guardian photo caption implicates innocent men in crime

A prominent photograph showed – according to the caption – “the five men originally charged with Stephen Lawrence’s murder being pelted with eggs after giving evidence at a public inquiry.” Only four of the six men shown in the picture – a crowd scene from June 1998 – were charged in the Lawrence case. For the avoidance of doubt: the man most prominently shown in the foreground of the shot, wearing spectacles and a blue shirt, was not among the accused, nor was a sixth man shown in the photo’s rear (4 January, page 7).
