The honest Marion Ross mistake

[redlion62]

Now that the SCRO expert Fiona McBride has publicly denied that she has ever made a mistake over the Marion Ross murder case fingerprint but the Scottish Executive, who ultimate pay her wages, have stated publicly that she has will she be taking any action against the Executive?
What do the other experts who agreed with her findings think? This isn`t going to go away as much as I`m sure these experts wish it would. If only they had admitted the mistake so much earlier. That was the time for `damage limitation`. Now I`m afraid it is far far too late.

I, too, am curious what will result from the difference between the position taken by Fiona McBride, apparently on behalf of the others at SCRO as well as herself, and the Scottish Executive. But don't forget the erroneous identification to Shirley McKie was not the only mistake. David Asbury may have ideas of a civil action. And if he did not kill Marion Ross, the killer is still out there, too. There needs to be an open, thorough inquiry organized and coordinated by authorities who have no dog in this fight. The sooner, the better. More delay will only compound the problems.

Thanks for your reply Mr Wetheim,
Mr Asbury will have to be treated exactly the same as Shirley McKie. That is to say that he will get some cash and the `honest mistake` position will be maintained. The exeutive have made a rod for their own back and I can see no way out for them apart from a settlement. This can only drive the wedge in further within Scotland`s fingerprint community and the wider fingerprint world I`m afraid to say!
The debate in Scotland is gathering a `political` momentum with parties using the situation for their own ends I suspect. At least it is a momentum which carries the arguement on.
