See this is why I don’t think it is right for the PM and FM to be quashing all convictions etc without proper consideration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It is far better that 10 guilty men go free than one innocent man is wrongfully convicted." Undoubtedty, there will be a few who were at it, and who will get off lightly as a result of this, but to go through and review on a case-by-case basis achieves little other than to prolong the ordeal for the many innocent victims. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emailing cards next year You got let off lightly as Horizon would've accounted for it as a £50 sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/23/horizon-scandal-concern-over-complex-route-to-justice-for-scottish-victims "In Scotland, the cases were investigated by the Post Office but they were prosecuted by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS), the state prosecutor in Scotland, in contrast to England and Wales where the Post Office pursued the vast majority of cases directly. Dorothy Bain, the lord advocate who heads the COPFS, gave a statement to the Scottish parliament last week in which she raised the possibility that “not every case in which Horizon evidence is present will represent a miscarriage of justice” – setting her at odds with the first minister, Humza Youaf, who has said his government would work with UK counterparts to adopt Rishi Sunak’s pledge of blanket exoneration." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Looks like the PO is doubling down. Should be more shite from Sunak and Badenoch. Post Office said last month it stands by most Horizon convictions https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/feb/22/post-office-said-last-month-it-stands-by-most-horizon-convictions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
