She has worked to secure further [b]reforms of the police[/b] service. In 2003 she was awarded [b]an OBE[/b] for services to community relations.<br /><br />She founded the [b]Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust[/b] to promote a positive community legacy in her son's name. Lawrence has been selected to [b]sit on panels within the Home Office and the Police Service[/b], and she is a member of both the board and the [b]council of Liberty[/b], the human rights organisation, as well as being a patron of hate crime charity [b]Stop Hate UK[/b].<br /><br />On 27 July 2012, Lawrence took part in the [b]2012 Olympic opening ceremony[/b], holding the Olympic flag with Ban Ki Moon, Shami Chakrabarti and others.<br /><br />In October 2012, she received a [b]Lifetime Achievement Award[/b] at the 14th Pride of Britain Awards<br /><br />(Credit / Wikipedia)<br /><br />Nice work if you can get it?<br /><br />As for the other thing... iPlod, great term by the way, about sums up what gets the cops out of bed in the mornings now days.

This prosecution predictably failed: according to the judge there was no reasonable evidence available and thus no case to answer.<br /><br />Is it just coincidence that the government which changed the law was headed by the husband of Michael Mansfield's co-tenant at Matrix Chambers, Cherie Blair? The subsequent second prosecution and conviction of the perps saved Mansfield's blushes but, as F211 writes, at tremendous cost to justice for the rest of us.Umbongonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-86153536327748834292013-01-11T14:36:26.141+00:002013-01-11T14:36:26.141+00:00Bunny + 1 to Mr Fahrenheit's comments.Bunny + 1 to Mr Fahrenheit's comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-7777332800294859742013-01-11T10:47:17.234+00:002013-01-11T10:47:17.234+00:00Lesley said: ‘They were all over my laptop taking ...<i>Lesley said: ‘They were all over my laptop taking screen grabs.

But the Lawrences have not only had more than their day in court, they also managed to get one of the major protections against multiple malicious prosecution removed from the statute book. By doing away with the protection from being tried twice for the same crime, the Lawrences have selfishly condemned future generations to having the threat of being tried again for offences for which a jury has cleared them of.<br /><br />I think the Lawrences should have got compensation, they should have got a re investigation but they should not have been allowed by the last Labour govt, to whine their way in to getting a significant change in the law.<br /><br />What worries me is what would some future oppressive government make of the ability to try people multiple times until the jury gave what the government considered the 'correct result'.<br /><br />I say it again, Fuck the Lawrences.
