The justice system is not perfect. People have to realise this. Miscarriages will always happen but we need to act quicker to fix the mistakes. I have no idea how this guy is still there but the cops that put him away are panicing.....

Again B6, G4? Common sense prevails

There is MASSIVE doubt about this guys guilt. Personally I would like whoever did it to be punished rather than some dude that was quite possibly uninvolved. Or does vengeance mean more to you than justice?

The Lockerbie bombers should die the same way their victims died. Not in prison, but blown to bits or burned to death by falling debris.

The new way of a trial by media worries me excessively.. I try and teach my kids to not be sucked in but they are a powerful medium..

You are right.. Miscarriages of justice have happened for years (centuries?) but now it is harder to make things stick... youtube and internet communities mean that persons who have not met can exchange views and information.. This to me is a good thing in the long run.. it allows us to challenge situations.. for the good of every person in society, it is vital that we challenge... god help those persons who are in the wrong place at the wrong time and it can happen to anyone really... most people (unless in a powerful position) are dispensible..

I don't know the ins and outs of the case against the man who's in prison now, but I do know that blowing up innocent people is cowardly and deserves to be punished.

One of the victims on the plane was a boy I went through school with. He was living in London working in the theatre. His only crime was wanting to take his English girlfriend home to meet his family for Christmas.

I agree, that's why we should find the scum that actually did it, if , as is highly probable, this guy didn't.

Scots justice: compassionate release of terminally ill long-term prisoners (e.g., Al Magrahi)

English justice: compassionate release of terminally ill long-term prisoners (e.g., Ronnie Biggs).

American justice - no compassionate release of long-term prisoners - let them rot and die in jail = vengeance !

He's being released:

The Lockerbie bomber is to be released on compassionate grounds, the Scottish Government has announced.

Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, 57, was jailed in 2001 for the atrocity which claimed 270 lives in 1988.

Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill revealed that the Libyan, who has terminal prostate cancer, would be allowed to return to his homeland.
Finally, justice prevails.

Let's just hope that you are never convicted and jailed for a crime you did not commit - and left to rot in jail. :(

Not a pardon though. Who ever actually did it will still be in clover:(

Yes, well... it seems to me that they were simply chasing a conviction; a genuine culprit was considered optional.
