Daily Mail made me feel like a victim again, Baroness Lawrence tells court

The mother of Stephen Lawrence has said she feels like "a victim all over again" after she learned about the alleged hacking of her phone by the Daily Mail, a court has heard. Baroness Doreen Lawrence, who says her phone was tapped and voicemails hacked, said the alleged actions of the newspaper reminded her of the police handling of the investigation into the racist murder of her son. She told the High Court the Mail was only "pretending" to support her campaign for justice for the "credibility of supporting a black family". The peer is among several high-profile figures - including the Duke of Sussex - suing the paper's publisher, Associated Newspapers (ANL).
