| − | The ''Twitter'' exchange that began on 4 February 2014 quickly developed into a discussion of whether in 1993 [[Peter Taylor|Lord Chief Justice Taylor]] had actually banned [[Alan Feraday]] from appearing as an expert witness in future trials such as the [[Lockerbie bombing]] trial (as the BBC had reported in 1995).<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4164422.stm "'Doubts' over Lockerbie evidence"]</ref>

| − | [https://twitter.com/CarolineFeraday/status/431090897921384448 Caroline refused to elaborate further] but the fact is that the BBC report still maintains [[Peter Taylor|LCJ Taylor]] banned Alan Feraday in 1993, as does ''The Guardian''<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/jun/17/politics.lockerbie1 "Evidence that casts doubt on who brought down Flight 103"]</ref> and lawyer [[Gareth Peirce]].<ref>[http://www.lrb.co.uk/v31/n18/gareth-peirce/the-framing-of-al-megrahi "The Framing of al-Megrahi"]</ref>

| − | On 26 February 2014, in response to his email headed "Another [[Alan Feraday]] prosecution bites the dust!", Caroline Feraday addressed a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_mail "hate email" to][[Patrick Haseldine]] (copying it to, among others, [[Oliver Tickell]], [[John Ashton]], [[Robert Black]], [[Francis Boyle]], [[Frank Duggan]], [[John Coates]], [[Ian Ferguson]], [[Christine Grahame]], [[Stuart Henderson]], [[Julia Hobsbawm]], [[Richard Keen]], [[Morag Kerr]], [[Hans Koechler]], [[Mark Lewis]], [[Kenny MacAskill]], [[Richard Marquise]], [[Steven Raeburn]], [[Robin Ramsay]], [[Buck Revell]], [[Gareth Peirce]], [[Michael Russell]], [[Michael Scharf]], [[Thomas Thurman]], [[Mark Zaid]]):

| − | :I have explained this repeatedly and without any confusion.
| |
| − | :For these purposes I will explain it one final time.
| |
| − | :I am being harassed by [[Patrick Haseldine]].
| |
| − | :I have blocked him on ''Twitter'' and on my email account. He continues to find ways to harass both me, my professional and social contacts and my family.
| |
| − | :Aside from the obvious insanity of his claims, which have no basis in fact outside of his own mentally ill mind, and which I have no intention of being drawn into debating nor would it be proper or reasonable for me to do so...the frequency of his emails and the increasing instability of his sanity are cause for much distress and concern.
| |
| − | :On occasion I have been contacted by various weirdos and consider it the downside of a peculiar yet rewarding job. If that's all this was I would brush it aside.
| |
| − | :However, this high level of intimidation of me, my contacts, and my family is without reproach and must stop immediately.
| |
| − | :I have been incredibly clear. Do not email me. Do not contact me. You have no right to, and your behaviour is unacceptable.
| |
| − | :I will add into my police complaint of harassment anyone else who is encouraging this insane bully.
| |
| − | :I imagine you'll be as livid as I am that he is sharing your email addresses and email contents openly with strangers, which is a breach of your own rights.
| |
| − | :Stop this immediately, it makes you look crazy. Probably because you are, but that's not my problem.
| |
| − | :Any reply to this will constitute further harassment and be forwarded directly to the Police automatically without being read.
