Gareth Pierce needs no introduction here - Lawyer for the Maguire 7 and Guildford 4 - and for a number of Guantanamo detainees to cite just a bit of her pedegree. She can smell a miscarriage of justice a mile off.
She has a devastating article in the current edition of the London Review of Books. It's over 6,500 words long so I won't post it but, if you want a forensic demolition of the original trial and verdict, together with hints at what Megrahi's new appeal would have argued and presented as new evidence, then you should read it.
