@@thomascooney6644 Nuremberg was an exception, because the judges saw themselves as wholly distinct from the accused, so many top level Germans DID get hanged. Normally, judges and lawyers come from the same class as the senior management and can see themselves facing similar problems, so they get a lot of leeway. It's normally the humble operatives who get it in the neck, while the top dogs are seen as good people trying to do their best. Case in point: torture at the Abu Ghraib Prison in Baghdad. Private Lyndee England was jailed for two years and came out to become a hero in her trailer park. The prison governor merely lost her star, being demoted from Brigadier-General back down to Colonel.

A "don't-rock-the-boat" mentality. He left the ship, solely to save his own skin. This appears not to have worked, as he now needs to answer for his actions, or lack thereof. His attempt to control the situation he finds himself in is risible, and lays bare his level of education, and intelligence.

At the end of the day this whole trial is disgusting! These post office people are going to walk way "Scott Free" after ruining peoples lives! Your life is important the time you spend you cannot get back, while other have benefited and been benefactors for others to do the same "they need JAIL" and their own pensions removed!

Except that, it's NOT a trial. It's a Public Inquiry.

He is right about a Major Incident (MI) being raised, Somebody, possibly Fujitsu didn't flip the MI switch and the POL forced the line 'it's only happening to you' to the Sub Post Office Masters. POL are guilty because once the number of people being prosecuted expanded expendably, they should also have called an MI - trouble is neither Fujitsu or POL wanted to admit there was a fault. When are these people going to have a knock on the door and prosecuted?

A major incident would not be raised. This a known errors and problem management.

Imagine, at your place of work, some money goes missing. You get blamed. If you deny it you are threatened with court resulting in prison. Or if you admit it you just get a suspended sentence or community punishment. So to avoid prison you admit guilt. Over and done with you think. Then your company sues you for court costs because you were found guilty, you owe £350,000 in court costs. Your life ruined. This company is called the Post Office. Their logo is " whatever you need us for, we're here for you". They spent £100 million in expensive lawers to try to avoid paying £58 million in compensation. The class action saw the incorrectly convicted see £20,000 in compensation after court costs. The executive salaries were between £250,000 and £500,000. Post Office investigators were given bonuses for every Horizon conviction

This. Is how it has always worked at the top in this country and everywhere else, he , like others will still have his millions and fine things, and won't give this a second thought!

It clearly was not that important to investigate problems with Horizon because Mike Young's paychecks were still being deposited regularly and he was not personally being required to make restitution for false claims against him. Was he merely a political appointee or was he expected to actually perform some real function as "chief of technology"? I don't expect he took out the office trash or brought tea and snacks to meetings. What exactly did he do all day?

10:15 “I’ve said it’s not fair”….it’s not fair, either, that he would have been paid thousands worth of generous salary to make sure whilst, following the protocols and routines created, that these things didn’t happen or were detected and rectified early!

Slippery, waffler. All these suits in the top jobs who allowed this to happen on their watch should be made to pay back the healthy salaries they took during their dishonest periods of employment at the post office. That money should go towards compensation all those that they had thrown in jail, and whos lives and livelihoods were ruined.
