Anybody know much about this?
Reading about it this morning it seems a large number of sub postmasters have been accused and/or tried and/or convicted and/or imprisoned over alleged theft of financial mis management and are now being 'cleared'.
My wonderings being;
Is it being said that they didn't actually do it, or just that their convictions are not safe?
It seems that the Horizon IT System said that there were signifi9cant cash shortages. In order to cause such a perception presumably the system had to say that goods or services had been supplied for which there was no corresponding cash? Pretty simple to disprove I would have thought.
What number of sub postmasters are prosecuted each year? Was this part of a massive increase?
I presume some of you must know rather more about this than I do.
