Lord Advocate refuses to answer questions from Jim Swire and John Ashton

[At the launch of Scotland’s Shame: Why Lockerbie Still Matters, John Ashton and Dr Jim Swire released an open letter addressed by them to the Lord Advocate, Frank Mulholland QC. A reply has now been received. John Ashton’s website reports it as follows:]

On 3 October Jim Swire and I wrote to the lord advocate, Frank Mulholland QC, to ask three simple but very important questions. We have just received the response below from the head of the Crown Office’s serious and organised crime division, Lindsey Miller. Eagle-eyed readers will note that it fails to answer any of our questions.

Dear Dr Swire and Mr Ashton

Thank you for your open letter of 3 October to the Lord Advocate. He has asked me to reply on his behalf.

The Lord Advocate is well aware of his duties as a public prosecutor. As the Crown has stated repeatedly, the only appropriate forum for the determination of guilt or innocence is the criminal court.

The criminal investigation remains live, and the Crown will not make any public comment about the nature of that investigation.

    Well, at least the crown office is honest about what they are doing.

  3. MISSION LOCKERBIE, 2013 - (google translation, german/english):

    Since 15th November 1990 to today, I Edwin Bollier (MEBO Ltd) was deceived intentionally by the Scottish Police, with an manipulated piece of evidence of a MST-13 timer fragment; a dirty criminal offense !
    It was alleged that the fragment - marked as PT-35 - had been involved in the bombing of PanAm 103 and brought down the Boeing 747 at Lockerbie in
    21st December 1988, 270 people were killed .

    On March 1990, before the official witness statement was in Zurich, in the presence of Swiss Police, FBI and Scottish Police, I have seen on 4-5 FBI Photos by officials of the Swiss Federal Police (BUPO). The pictures show the same
    MST-13 timer fragment (PT-35) and shown also individual electronic components.

    Today can easily proved forensically, that the MST-13 timer fragment(PT-35) are derived from a non- functional prototype MST-13 circuit board and thus not can be associated with the delivered MST-13 timer to Libya or to the ex "STASI" !

    The criminal machination of the Scottish Police against MEBO Ltd. and me, gave a damage of several million US.$. We demand a criminal investigation

    Soon a criminal complaint and an action for damages against the Scottish Police will be submitted.
    MEBO Ldt and I have in this regard (after ECHR), the right for a forensic examination of the MST-13 timer fragment (PT-35) to require by experts.

    in german:

    Ich Edwin Bollier-MEBO Ltd wurde seit 15. November 1990 von der Scottish Police, auf kriminelle Art, mit einem manipulierten Beweisstück eines MST-13 Timerfragment vorsätzlich getäuscht !
    Es wurde behauptet, das Fragment - markiert als PT-35, sei an der Explosion der PanAm 103 involviert gewesen und habe die, Boeing 747, am 21. Dezember 1988, zum Absturz auf Lockerbie gebracht; dadurch kamen 270 Menschen zu Tode.
    Bereits ab März 1990, vor der offiziellen Zeugeneinvernahme in Zürich, in Anwesenheit von Swiss Police, FBI and Scottish Police, wurde uns auf 4-5 FBI-Fotos, durch Beamte der Schweizer Bundespolizei (BUPO) Abbildungen vom gleichen MST-13 Timerfragment (PT-35) und von einzelnen elektronischen Bauteilen gezeigt.
    Heute kann auf einfache Art forensisch bewiesen werden, dass das MST-13 Timerfragment (PT-35) von einer nichtfunktionsfähigen Prototyp MST-13 Timer Platine abstammt und somit nicht mit einem nach Libyen, oder der ex "STASI" gelieferten MST-13 Timer in Verbindung gebracht werden kann !

    Die kriminelle Machenschaft der Scottish Police hat mir und MEBO Ltd. einen Schaden von mehreren millionen US$ verursacht. Wir verlangen eine Strafuntersuchung.
    Demnächst wird eine Strafanzeige und eine Schadenersatzklage gegen die Scottish Police eingereicht.
    MEBO Ldt. und ich Edwin Bollier haben in diesem Zusammenhang (nach EMRK) das Recht, eine forensische Prüfung des MST-13 Timerfragments (PT-35) durch Experten zu verlangen.

  4. "...the only appropriate forum for the determination of guilt or innocence is the criminal court."

    Of course that is obviously wrong.

    A murder victim walking in the door instantly establishes the truth: that the man convicted for murder was not guilty of that crime.

    But it is a convenient point of view for those who determine if a trial should be set up or not, and how it should be conducted.

    The courts are society's practical institution, whose job it is to, among other things, assure that evidence is being scrutinized and heard in a proper way. When this is done we respect their decision as 'the best we have', although we know that wrong verdicts from time to time are unavoidable if evidence known at the time of trial pointed that way.

    But when they fail to do their fundamental job they are nothing but establishments misusing the powers given them, and their decisions of course deserve no respect.

    And no court is needed to prove that this overwhelmingly applies to the Zeist trial, as well as to their conduct today.
