AT LAST, after almost two decades, two members of the gang of cowardly racist scum responsible for the brutal murder of Stephen Lawrence have been sent to prison – albeit with vastly reduced sentences because they were teenagers at the time their crime was committed.
Convicted criminals who spend time in prison awaiting trial have the time they spent in prison awaiting trial deducted from their sentences. If there were any justice, Stephen Lawrence’s killers would have had 18 years added to their sentences to make up for the time they have spent living the high life and obstructing police enquiries in the two decades since the murder.
