Years after a faulty computer system (Horizon) resulted in hundreds of sub-postmasters being prosecuted for fraud (some were imprisoned, went bankrupt or lost homes), some have had their convictions quashed.
I hope those in charge at the time are sent to prison. Why should so many innocent people suffer for the total ineptness of those in charge? Some sub-postmasters have died and some have lost marriages.
This was a cock-up on a monumental scale. You are not telling me someone at the top didn't smell a rat when so many were being convicted of fraud? At the very least this is gross incompetence. At worse, it was a cover-up.
Heads MUST roll!!
