An anniversary ... just a day late

14 March 2008 marks the sixth anniversary of the dismissal of Abdelbaset Megrahi's appeal against conviction. That appeal was unsuccessful because his then lawyers did not ask the Appeal Court to address the correct questions: see the very first post on this blog (section headed "The Appeal").

In the appeal which is currently wending its way -- painfully slowly -- through the Scottish criminal justice system, the correct issues have been raised, and the result should be the overturning of Mr Megrahi's conviction.
