  • 奧布里·梅爾福德·斯蒂德·史蒂文森爵士(英語:Sir Aubrey Melford Steed Stevenson,1902年10月17日-1987年12月26日),英國大律師和法官,1957年至1979年擔任高等法院法官。 史蒂文森由1925年起成為執業大律師,戰前主要從事破產訴訟。二戰期間他在陸軍軍法署任職,任內曾主審納粹德軍U型潛艇擊沉希臘商船事件。他在戰後參與過多宗備受矚目的刑事案件,當中包括在1954年代表英政府反駁肯雅黑人政治領袖喬莫·肯雅塔的上訴申請、1955年為女殺人犯魯思·埃利斯擔任辯護律師、以及在1957年博德金·亞當斯醫生涉嫌連環謀殺案中代表控方等。 加入高等法院後,史蒂文森因其直率的言行和判處重刑的習慣而引起爭議。1969年,他向倫敦黑幫頭目克賴兄弟兩人各判處終身監禁,同時規定兩人必須服刑最少30年;翌年,他又向八名參與的劍橋大學學生判處監禁或送入,其中更有學生被判監長達18個月,引來判刑過重的批評。法律界內更有戲言如果被告人遭史蒂文森裁定罪名成立,就直接把案件提出上訴。 外界對史蒂文森的毀譽不一,當他在1979年以76歲之齡從高等法院退休時,有輿論猜測他是被迫退休,理由是據說他不受個別傳媒和派別的歡迎。退休以後,他仍時常出席公開場合,直到晚年健康和視力倒退才逐漸淡出。 (zh)
