Justice for Megrahi and the Scottish Parliament Justice Committee

In anticipation of the Scottish Parliament Justice Committee’s next consideration of Justice for Megrahi’s petition (PE 1370) for an independent inquiry into the Lockerbie investigation, prosecution and conviction, the committee of JFM on 2 April submitted a report on its dealings with the Scottish Government’s Justice Directorate, the Crown Office and Dumfries and Galloway Police regarding JFM’s complaint of criminal misconduct in the Lockerbie investigation, prosecution and trial.  Following JFM’s meeting on 16 April with former D & G chief constable Patrick Shearer, now a Deputy Chief Constable with Police Scotland, the committee of JFM submitted a supplementary report to the Justice Committee.
