Well, perhaps only a "slightly bearing", but
a) Megrahi wasn't convicted for mass murder but for his involvement in the bombing;
Should I remind you that the Lockerbie bombing was a mass murder???? Most mass murderers never reach a total like 243.

Yes, and it's so unusual for convicted murderers to appeal. I'll tell you what, if he was found innocent, he should have been freed, but as long as he was a convicted mass murderer, it's an affront to the victims and their families to free him.

Oh, sorry, then Scotland must have been correct in freeing a person who deliberately murdered hundreds of men, women, and children, and never gave them the slightest chance to survive.
