I echo Margaret Curran's comments about the families of the victims. They have behaved in an impeccable and constructive manner following the trial and they deserve justice.

On the conduct of the trial and in defence of Mr Mackay, the Lord Advocate said:

"It has been suggested that the case was not prosecuted properly and that mistakes were made that led to essential evidence not being placed before the court. On the basis of the information that I have been given, I reject that suggestion."

Will she confirm what information she has received? What other information might she receive at a further date that might allow her to review her decision that she has full confidence in Mr Mackay's prosecution of the case?
