Lockerbie probe rejected - Mail & Guardian Online: Three judges who tried the case without a jury at Camp Zeist in the Netherlands were under “tremendous pressure” to return their guilty verdict of January 2001. “The prosecution case against [Megrahi] held water like a sieve … We have accusations of the key witness having been bribed for testimony; a multitude of serious question marks over material evidence, including the very real possibility of the crucial fragment of printed circuit board [from the bomb] having been fabricated; discredited forensic scientists testifying for the prosecution; crown witness testimony being retracted after the trial and, most worryingly, allegations of the crown’s non-disclosure of evidence which could have been key to the defence.”
