Sobre este e-book
“Casts grave doubt on the validity of Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi’s conviction as the Libyan terrorist responsible for blowing up Pan Am Flight 103.” —Arab News
“You know me as the Lockerbie bomber. I know that I’m innocent. Here, for the first time, is my true story: how I came to be blamed for Britain’s worst mass murder, my nightmare decade in prison and the truth about my controversial release. Please read it and decide for yourself. You are now my jury.” —Abdelbaset al-Megrahi
This long-awaited book argues that, far from being an unrepentant terrorist, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was the innocent victim of dirty politics, a flawed investigation and judicial folly. Based on exclusive interviews with Megrahi himself, and conclusive new evidence, it destroys the prosecution case and puts the Scottish criminal justice system in the dock. Megrahi: You Are My Jury makes a compelling argument that the murderers of the 270 Lockerbie victims were acting on behalf of an entirely different government, rather than Colonel Gadafy and Libya.
“Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the convicted ‘Lockerbie bomber,’ who died earlier this year of cancer, never stopped seeking to clear his name, and this book, written by one of the lead researchers on Megrahi’s appeal with the Megrahis’ collaboration, documents perceived weaknesses of the Scottish state’s case . . . Ashton’s analysis of the evidence, though clearly partisan, is exhaustive and fascinating, highlighting how Megrahi’s trial exemplified a rush to judgment viewed by many jurists as a miscarriage of justice.” —Publishers Weekly
