General notes:
Stephen Lawrence was murdered while waiting for a bus on the 22 April 1993 in a racially motivated attack. Five suspects where identified but after a number of police failings it took almost 20 years for two of the suspects to be charged and convicted in 2012. The case hi-lighted not only the racism that existed in Britain but also the racism and failings that existed in the police force.
