Last night's shocking Panorama episode left viewers in anger and disbelief – here's why
The case has been described as the most widespread miscarriage of justice in legal history. So what happened?Between 2000 and 2014, the Post Office prosecuted 736 post office operators based on information from a recently installed computer system called Horizon. That meant that an average of one post office operator was being prosecuted weekly.
In reality, it was the new computer system that was to blame and the whole ordeal went on for nearly two decades. In this newepisode, though, we get to hear from the people it affected directly and it makes for some stark and emotional viewing.special tells the story of those whose lives were utterly devastated, reveals the damning evidence that was kept from them and investigates how and why the Post Office, a multinational tech company and the government covered up the truth for so long.
“I’d like to see people come back to justice. People in their position being paid a lot of money and hiding the truth – make them feel like I felt when I lost everything overnight,” Noel Thomas – who was accused of stealing £46,000 – says in the documentary.
