Letter: Time for justice
YOU say that "Megrahi is a living rebuke to (justice secretary, Kenny] MacAskill" (leader, 28 July).
MacAskill followed the rules and in my view should be commended for doing so and for showing common sense and compassion.
Along with many other Scots, I see Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi as a living rebuke to a legal system which condemned him on very shaky evidence and which has failed properly to re-examine his case and what really happened at Lockerbie. It is still not too late to do this.
