Scots caught up in Post office IT scandal 'may have been victims of miscarriage of justice'
08.11.2022 - 20:09 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Six sub-postmasters caught up in the Horizon computer system scandal may have been victims of miscarriages of justice, the Scottish Criminal Cases Review commission has ruled. The six, one of whom has since died and is represented posthumously, are now entitled to appeal against the convictions for crimes of dishonesty arising from their roles as sub postmasters (SPM) at Post Office Ltd (POL).
Between 2000 and 2014, more than 700 sub-postmasters (SPMs) were falsely prosecuted based on information from the POL's computerised accounting and sales system, Horizon. Since then, many SPMs south of the border have had their criminal convictions for theft, fraud and false accounting overturned.
The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) has now referred the cases of Aleid Kloosterhuis, Anne Quarm on behalf of William Quarm (deceased), Susan Sinclair, Colin Smith, Judith Smith and Robert Thomson to the High Court of Justiciary for determination.
Susan Sinclair was convicted of one charge of embezzlement following a trial, while elsewhere Judith Smith pled guilty to one charge of fraud and William Quarm and the other three people to one charge of embezzlement each. The SCCRC concluded that the five who pled guilty did so in circumstances that were, or could be said to be, clearly prejudicial to them.
It also concluded that new information about Horizon which has emerged since Mrs Sinclair's trial would have had a material bearing on a critical issue at her trial, which is to say the shortfall of funds at the Post Office branch where she worked. It found that the prosecution could be seen as oppressive because the absence of the relevant evidence rendered the trial unfair.
Bill Matthews, chairman of the Commission, said:
