The Met's Decision to Close the Stephen Lawrence Case

The day after the verdict was announced DCI Clive Driscoll was taken off the case. The repercussions of Stephen's murder and the McPherson report are still ringing in 2006 journalist Mark daily went undercover in the Manchester Metropolitan Police Department to see if there really had been any changes in police training. Former police officer Peter Francis has come forward claiming that he was sent undercover by the Met specifically to undermine the Lawrence family in the public eye his mission he claims was to make the public feel less sympathy towards them  the Met deny this and there is no surviving record of Francis' campaign but quite a lot of pertinent documents happen to go missing around this case so it's not outside the realm
