djm4_ljDavid Morley was killed in a 'happy slapping' attack not apparently motivated by homophobia. Somehow, that fails to make me feel any better.
Give me the strength to keep my Liberal sense of perspective, and not clamour for the reintroduction of public flogging.
The 17-year-old told the court the girl had filmed the attack on Mr Morley and he said they watched the video footage on the phone after returning to a block of flats in Lambeth.
Defence counsel Orlando Pownall QC asked him: "How did the six of you react to what was shown?"
The teenager, softly spoken and contrite, answered: "At the time we thought it was funny."
