Stephen Lawrence: The Murder That Shamed Britain - Part 6

With two of Stephen Lawrence's attackers belatedly jailed for life, what is Stephen's legacy? Could there be more convictions? And in the year Black Lives Matter protests swept the globe, has Scotland Yard really dealt with its problem of 'institutional racism' and learned the lessons of the case? Acclaimed Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright talks to police, politicians, lawyers and the young French au pair who witnessed Stephen's senseless killing, and whose life was forever changed as a result.
