but if she were suffering significantly,

she would have to be euthanised,

just out of kindness.

My job is still in London.

I enjoy my work;

I have a senior position,

and I have great workmates.

But I spend nearly four hours a day commuting

and I miss time I could be spending with our children.

On weekdays,

I see them for half an hour a day

- we have a good relationship.

My wife copes, but wishes I was home more

and that I was less tired when I am around.

Local job opportunities are limited and I know

that if I were to get a job here,

I would not have nearly

as much job satisfaction as I do now.

Stephen Lawrence murder:

Gary Dobson and David Norris

await sentencing

Minimum jail term is 12 years

because pair were juveniles,

and law was less tough on racist crimes

in 1993

Sandra Laville, crime correspondent

Gary Dobson and David Norris,

the two men convicted

of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence,

will be sentenced today.

The pair, who were 17 and 16

at the time of the murder,

will receive a sentence

that takes into account as a starting point

the fact that they were juveniles

at the time of the fatal stabbing.

But Mr Justice Treacy, the trial judge,

will also take aggravating factors into account:

specifically that the murder was racist,

and also that the pair realised

one of their group might use a knife.

Had they committed the crime in the last year,

Dobson and Norris would expect

to receive much tougher sentences,

with minimum terms of 25 years

for a racially aggravated knife murder.

If he walks free,

Amrine will become only the third condemned man in Missouri

to be cleared of the death penalty conviction.

Had he not been convicted in Barber's murder,

he would have gotten out in 1992.
