    It’s a bit late for some of the victims of this though, isn’t it?

    I remember hearing about the Horizon scandal a few years ago on some podcast. At the time, obviously, there was no justice for anybody who had been wronged. I believe at least one ex-postmaster committed suicide over it.

    Sod the award. Overturning these convictions isn’t going to undo the mental and physical toll this has taken on these innocent people. Every one of the executives who covered this up has blood on their hands. The rich never, ever face consequences for anything they do, no matter how cruel.
