Stephen Lawrence Detectives Will Not Face Prosecution
//Four retired detectives who ran the first Stephen Lawrence murder investigation should not face criminal charges for their actions in the case, a review has concluded.
The BBC has been told the review, by a senior CPS lawyer, upholds a previous decision not to prosecute, which was challenged by Stephen's parents and friend.
It found there was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and therefore none of the four will be charged.
Stephen was murdered in April 1993 in a racist attack in south London.
The initial investigation failed to bring anyone to justice - although two men were jailed in 2012 for Stephen's murder.//

The link shows they were looking at the offence of "misconduct in public office".
'Misconduct in public office (“MiPO”) is a common law offence that can be tried only on indictment. It carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The offence concerns serious wilful abuse or neglect of the power or responsibilities of the public office held. There must be a direct link between the misconduct and an abuse of those powers or responsibilities.'
it was all so long ago - 25 y and it is not as though they collected and carefully kept the evidence.
It was tried long ago with the police who mishandled the IRA bombers cases - and the jury acquitted
