Lockerbie bombing: Google "the selective use of polygraphs"

[bucko386]

Even a cursory examination of what happened at the trial - the weakness of the evidence and the reward money paid to the principal witness and his brother leaves the casual observer with a strong sense of injustice - a gross miscarriage.

The court concluded (against the weakest of evidence) that al Meghari bought some clothes from a shop in Malta one day in December 1988 - probably - and this on the uncorroborated testimony of a witness paid to give evidence. He just bought clothes?

Allegedly

_They made such a brouhaha when he was released in 2009.

But whether guilty or innocent...whether three months to live or thirty three months...whether dying in jail or at home...What difference would it make?

Honestly. What difference would it make, now? ` He's dead.

So much for that idea...
