 | | The Lawrences begin civil proceedings against the five suspects and the police commissioner just before the legal time limit on civil actions runs out. | | | And no one was actually tried for the crime until 1996, when Stephen's parents felt compelled to bring a private prosecution, only the fourth of its kind in Britain in 130 years. | | | It will later be revealed that they are suing the Metropolitan Police for more than £500,000, claiming psychological damages, funeral costs, and the cost of their efforts to achieve justice. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Special reports Law: Will Stephen Lawrence suspects ever be brought to trial? |
| | If the history of the Lawrence case were not enough of a deterrent to the CPS, the prospect of going into court with what they have in front of them now will not be appealing. | | | But he also acknowledges that this is not an ordinary case and cannot be judged by the usual criteria. | | | Flawed witness testimony was one of the key factors in the failure to secure prosecutions in the Damilola Taylor trial and is probably another reason why the CPS is treating the Lawrence reinvestigation with such caution. |
