re: #1013 blueraven

He was questioned for years, I don’t see what more questioning can achieve. He never admitted guilt. The whole case is built upon Tony Gauci’s uncertain identification (it was flawed, since Gauci saw Megrahi’s photo identified as a suspect several days before the official identification; it was uncertain since Gauci both didn’t claim that Megrahi was _the_ man who purchased the clothes, only someone very like him in appearance; and at least at one time early on he identified another man - Palestinian terrorist Abu Talb (who once had been a primary suspect in this bombing case and who until recently was serving prison sentence for other bombings) as the man who purchased the clothes), and not only Gauci was paid off (so he can hardly change the identification or admit that he was wrong now), he was called a not very credible witness by the person who filed the indictment against Megrahi and Fhimah in the first place. This alone for me is enough to dismiss this case as a farce, not even taking into account other facts (like witnesses who admitted to lying on the stand or the finding that the co-accused Fhimah was not guilty since he had an alibi - and the prosecutors were so sure that he was Megrahi’s terror buddy!).
