Read the attached statement made by ex Post Office investigator Stephen Bradshaw for why the Post Office should insist a 47 year old mother and sub postmaster, Jacqueline Macdonald, should be found guilty of theft and not just false accounting. It is shocking. He says that if she was done only for false accounting, the integrity of the precious Fujitsu Horizon system would be undermined in future cases, and the appeals of wrongly convicted sub postmasters would have credibility. Bradshaw had his way. The judge in the trial agreed with him. This woman of no previous convictions was sentenced to 18 months in prison, for theft and false accounting. The point however is that Bradshaw was an employee. The big question is who further up the management ladder incentivized him to pursue sub postmasters, most of whom were innocent of any wrongdoing, while denying all the many flaws in Horizon - and to pursue them through the courts in such a single minded and determined way. This was just one of the many harrowing disclosures in today’s profoundly depressing session of Wyn Williams’s statutory inquiry into the Horizon scandal. It has been impossible to watch without feeling fury and great sadness at the brutal treatment of sub postmasters.
