Two teenage girls from London were found guilty of robbing a Jewish girl. The victim, 13, was on the bus on the way home from school last year when she was assaulted and robbed by the 14-year-olds, who first asked if she was Jewish. The attack left her unconscious with a fractured eye socket. Some members of the Jewish community voiced concern that the prosecution did not involve any charges of anti-Semitism.
