  I myself have grave doubts as to the guilt of this man. Im not a fan of the death penalty as I have seen irish persons convicted wrongly before who may well have been dead by now, but are now living a free life, having suffered massively due to expedient law solutions that were totally wrong.
  
  This chap fitted in with the usual legal expediency of the quick arrest. Lets arrest someone very fast to satisfy the media/public frenzy. That, many of you will have noticed, is the standard practice. Arrest somebody after a day or two and then release them some time later when the fuss has died down. In some cases the unfortunates are not released, some indeed may be the guilty ones, but in many cases they are not the perpetrators and anyone with the right accent or look will be fastracked towards 'justice', guilty by stereotypical association.
  
  I know the verdict on Megrahi was painstakingly arrived at but nevertheless even this morning the Scotsman newspaper is calling for a search for the real truth. Huge doubts linger.
