The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) found that a major miscarriage of justice may have occurred, and granted leave for al Megrahi to have a second appeal.
Have a read of these links Mr Angry posted earlier in the thread:

It would be an abominable cruelty to make a man die in prison away from his family.
I do not believe he is a threat to the public.

Dr Swire also supported al Megrahi's second appeal, and believes that he is innocent.
Many other relatives of the British victims also have doubts over the verdict, and support al Megrahi's release on compassionate grounds (with some also believing he is innocent as Dr Swire does).
The US relatives though mostly feel the opposite, & do not support it.
