As far as I can discover, the only newspaper that provides a report on the third day of the procedural hearing is The Herald. The following are excerpts:
'The Crown yesterday insisted further investigations over undisclosed documents relating to the key witness in the Lockerbie trial, to be carried out ahead of an appeal into the case, were "unnecessary".
'Lawyers for Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the man convicted of the atrocity, this week began a challenge to demand undisclosed material they believe will help free their terminally ill client at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
'The Crown Office and the Advocate General are opposing this, claiming that in some cases the evidence does not exist. (...)
'Ronnie Clancy, QC, advocate-depute acting for the Crown, said searches had already been undertaken voluntarily by police since the defence's move was launched last year and referred to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission's three-year investigation into the case.
'He argued the SCCCR's investigation - which referred Megrahi for a fresh appeal - was sufficient. (...)
'A delegation from the Crown Office is also to travel to Malta and "one of the tasks in hand is to actively seek consent for disclosure" of documents.
'It will also approach other foreign sources as some material could have security issues in their own jurisdiction should it be made public.
'Mr Clancy said an answer will be sought within 28 days and the defence team given the 170 documents or reasons why they should not be disclosed. (...)
'He also said the wide scope of the information sought was restrictive and said it indicated the call for disclosure was a "grand fishing expedition".
'Elements of the broad scope search could be narrowed down, Ms Scott suggested.
'She added: "What has taken place in terms of this voluntary exercise is not a proper search at all."
'Lord Hamilton, the Lord Justice General, Lord Kingarth and Lord Eassie will give their decision at a later date. Megrahi's appeal is due to start on April 27.'
Apology for the CROWN,
ReplyDeletebut It is high time that after the world-wide criminal finance disaster as next the world largest criminal "blaader" bursts (the Lockerbie-Affair) and the scottish jurisdiction shakes in the fundamentally foundations.
Hello Mr Abdelbaset, we pray for you daily, the truth triumphs soon.

please take to the knowledge:
If something secret is held, it is in most cases also not clean.

Leader of Libya and Chairman of the African Union (AU) Muammar al-Gadhafi seeks to change image on world stage.
ReplyDeleteFor this vision Libya and all other "victims" wait for years for a clear result in a revised judgement of the Scottish Appeal Justice, in the case of Lockerbie. Helping him, in the change of the untrue background image, of the 'Lockerbie-Tragedy'. Libya and his Official have nothing to do with the PanAm 103 attack.

MEBO facts:
ReplyDeleteThe alleged strange cloths found in Lockerbie (for example, the blue baby-overall) from Gauci's Boutique "Mary House" in Malta is the same manipulation as the remaining manipulated proofs like the MST-13 timer fragment and the invented infiltration of a bomb-bag on AirMalta, flight KM-180, by Mr Abdelbaset Al Megrahi!.
NB: The blue baby-overall was not even tested for explosive residues, and Gauci could not show the police a delivery note or a invoice for the baby-overall!
A delegation from the Scottish Crown is due to travel to Malta and will be looking for previously undisclosed doupful evidence material...
