The defence team could not cross-examine witness M. If that happened down here, we would be shouting from the rooftops about it. PSNI Constable Stephen Carroll was murdered and we entirely condemn those who did it, but it is no justice for that family that the wrong people could be in jail for it.
It was highlighted at the Commons committee that Amnesty International has not got involved in this case, which we are a bit concerned about, and I would remind Amnesty International of the saying of Malcolm X:
I am for truth, no matter who tells it. I am for justice, no matter who it is for or against.
I suggest Amnesty International takes that on board.
