Yes.
Scots law give everyone the right to appeal for compassionate leave; the appeal for the bomber was legally sound and he was freed. Had he not been freed he would have died in a Scottish jail as a martyr.
And if your head is messed up and you want to avenge that 'martyrdom' what are you going to do? Blow up a bit of Scotland that's what. That aside, there are many people who believe that he simply didn't do it. They aren't quacks; they are justices within the Scots legal system, many of those at the trial. The fact he was found guilty as opposed to 'Not proven' was indeed a suprise to many.
