"We had the sense that, although it was going to be an awful and long journey, at the end of it we might at least get some justice for Andrew.PC Harper and Lissie had been together since they were at secondary school Mrs Harper said it"wasn't until I was looking at them [the defendants] in the eye, that I felt the disgrace and just how unfair it is"."They could hear my words so if, even on the outside, they may not show any sort of remorse I hope that in some way they feel the guilt inside they should feel."Jessie Cole, Henry Long and Albert Bowers were convicted of killing PC Harper
She said the campaign, backed by the Police Federation of England and Wales, would"help fix" a"broken" justice system. Mr Justice Edis, the sentencing judge, said each of the jail terms for PC Harper's killers had to reflect"the seriousness of this case".
