Letter: Evidence doubt

I noted that Lord MacLean, still a staunch defender of the controversial decision to jail Megrahi for the Lockerbie bombing, said: "I have no doubt, on the evidence we heard, that the judgments we made, and the verdicts we reached, were correct" (your report, 15 September).

I am reminded that the head of the FBI later admitted: "We would never have gotten that stuff (evidence relating to the bomb timer] past a jury."
