    A friend of my MIL’s was briefly a junior investigator and she was “only following orders” too - the difference is that when she became aware those orders were wrong and she had been involved in persecuting innocent people, she couldn’t cope with the shame. Even though she only did her job and was utterly unaware of the wider picture, she tried to turn herself into the police. She’s a shell of her former self and will never get over it. The difference between her and this man is mindblowing.

    It depends. Was he aware of the problems with Horizon, and if not is it reasonable to expect that he should have been? How far were his conclusions and the outcome of the cases he investigated left to him to decide, and how much were they the responsibility of Post Office management? I'm not saying he is or isn't guilty, just saying let's not try to make up for one miscarriage of justice by having another one.

    As an American (albeit one who travelled to the UK often) I had never heard of the Post Office scandal until about 2 weeks ago when I happened upon the mini-series Mr. Bates vs the Post Office. I was absolutely gobsmacked that such a thing could happen and go on for over 20 years without a just resolution. It had me in tears for those whose lives were ruined - or ended. Listening to this shameless, hypocritical coward, the tears have stopped - and the anger has really taken over. He, and everyone who collaberated or turned a blind eye as he did, needs to go to prison for lengthy sentences. He helped ruin thousands of lives - and shows no regret or remorse - and no mercy should be shown.

    Very well trained to be honest. They had a very clear plan and knew exactly what they were doing, and that was stitching up innocent people to cover for their failing IT system that cost the government billions and was being hailed by POL themselves as being completely and totally failure proof. It was in their (and the government's) best interests to tighten the screws on the postmasters, their staff and their families as much as possible. Nothing like egg on the face to make investigators, managers, conglomerates, ministers and the judiciary decide to tow a line. It's happened many times before, and horizon will not be the last to come to the surface.

    So, why is this guy still employed by the PO as an "investigator" if he just does a half-assed job of "investigating"? *_I_* was reading the Computer Weekly and Private Eye reporting at the time - and I'm no investigator. Furthermore, he signs statements (for criminal proceedings) dictated by his bosses without question, later agreeing that they were wrong anyway. An awful man who should be put in the stocks for ruining people's lives.

    I am not sure that fraud, black ail, extortion or misleading are appropriate charges, but certainly all those involved, from Vennels down, have been shown to be incompetent. (Misleading the Courts could be one I suppose). As an investigator, faced with a sudden rash of sub-postmasters ALL trying to steal money from the Post Office, I would not be looking at individuals per se. As cases multiplied, my efforts would be focused on searching for a common denominator, the thing that made all these previously good people turn to crime, evidence of a plan, communications between people.....or something which was present in all these cases, which was (drum roll): the new software!! Listening to the posties at interview may have confirmed the cause of this fiasco early on and avoided the unnecessary persecution of all the posties. I mean, did they really think a large number of posties, from all over the country, most of whom had never even met, suddenly had the idea of doing a bit of fraud - all at the same time?! Seriously?!

Perhaps he should repay his bonuses for his shoddy work.

So, either he failed to exercise proper supervision, including checking the record of the interview and assessment of the evidence, or he was determined to get prosecutions irrespective of the evidence.
