Very pleased with those sentances, about time we had a judge who had the balls to impose such sentances, but, are we any wiser as to who actually knifed Stephen Lawrence?

No.
The judge made clear, in his sentencing today, that the two who have been sentenced know who did it, knew that someone had a knife, did nothing about that (in other words, "approved" of it) and have subsequently refused to tell the truth of what went on and, in Dobson's case (IIRC) actually lied to help cover up the truth.

Longer than I anticipated, given the restrictions on length of sentencing due to age at the time etc. Those sentences are probably on a par with "normal" murder sentences, and as such are certainly longer than I expected.
They're gonna find life difficult inside, wherever they go. Doubtless they'll end up in VPU but I doubt they'll be safe even there. I wonder if the little birds will now start to sing?

Especially given the disproportionate number of black inmates.
