Stephen Lawrence's Murder

Police spent a lot of time questioning Stephen's family and friends rather than actually trying to find his killers. They checked all of Stephen's family's kind of criminal records even though that has literally nothing to do with Stephen's own murder. Police had 22 tip-offs about this one specific gang who had backgrounds of racially motivated crimes, knife crimes. How much more obvious could these suspects be? Yet police didn't care about that. It took being shamed by one of the world's most powerful and respected activists for police to make arrests in this case.
