Megrahi Innocent?
Discussion
http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/megra... this information was bound to come out at some point, I'm surprised he was allowed to live long enough for it to happen. Will there not be a lot of people getting investigated if this is the truth?
The Private Eye (and some others) have been pointing out the inconsistencies in the case against Megrahi for years and years.
I seems evident to me that he was put forward as a scapegoat by Gaddafi for political expediency and I've no doubt Megrahi was promised his family would be well looked after back home.
The whole Megrahi thing stinks of political show casing and point scoring from when he was first arrested.

We had someone whose relative had died on PanAm 103 come to Gatwick to tell us about the way NOK and other relatives are treated after such events.
She was of a group that sat through the whole of the trial (as did Paul Foot whose report is well worth reading in full) and she said that she was in no doubt whatsoever that Megrahi was fitted up. He may or may not have been involved, but she was certain that the evidence was manufactured and tainted. The fortuitous finding of the tape fragment and the very iffy identification - which would not be allowed in this country now - was not dependable.
In fact the Foot report is a must read for anyone who wants to give an opinion on the matter.
