Call This Justice?

So, two of the killers of Stephen Lawrence have finally been brought to 'justice'.  What sentence did they get, fifteen years one and fourteen years the other.  The victims family had to wait longer than that to see justice done.  What about the others that were involved?  How much longer until they get found out?  And what meagre sentence will they face?  What have they all been doing for the last eighteen years?  If they had any remorse, then they would have given themselves up a long time ago.  For eighteen years they carried on as normal, living out their lives, and all the time knowing that they were guilty of taking an innocent life.  How did they manage to sleep at night, with the guilt of what they had done?  Or was it their lack of guilt, that is the real tragedy in this case.  At least Stephen Lawrence's family can rest easier, knowing that at least two of those responsible for his death, are getting away with it no more.  It is just a shame that they had to wait so long to see it happen.
