Wrongly Jailed Postmistress Rejects Apology From Ex-Post Office Boss

A former sub postmistress, Seema Misra, who was wrongly jailed while pregnant, has rejected an apology by an ex-Post Office boss. In 2010, the then managing director, David Smith, sent an email to colleagues saying brilliant news, well done, after Seema Misra was sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Post Office officials must go to prison

[@monipenny408]

not gonna happen, the UK system protects these criminals. Remember Bliar and faked Irak, he was even rewarded with a knighhood! UK regime is currently funding and backing the gazan ge no side!!!

[@tracyschaub1187]

What they did to this poor woman .. PREGNANT.. mind you ..😢 They need to go to jail 😡

[@naeedaafzal3055]

Why are they not going to jail for causing grief and suffering

[@paulwalton1222]

And they should spend longer in jail than every innocent person did.

[@mariewalmsley6143]

It's not a fake apology they want it's justice. They should all be in jail.

[@Crayawni]

They need to be deported

[@mrmaxxx94]

Racist post office and quick to judge. They owe her more money and they need to go bankrupt period. This woman is strong and held it together. Bless her

[@MIK23458]

Not racism. Many English postmasters were also accused, sentenced and vilified.

[@composedlight6850]

just made your postion nonesence --- what proof have you its 'racist'

[@beewa8840]

​@@MIK23458True, this entire matter is not down to racism. Nevertheless, some people were subjected to racism.

[@hedgehog1965uk]

@@MIK23458 There was certainly an element of racism. One member of the Horizon helpdesk has revealed that often other operators would be saying to each other "I have another scamming Patel here", whenever the sub postmaster was Asian. The guy who revealed this was actually called Patel.

[@turokforever007]

People killed themselves while the people in charge lied

[@MIK23458]

They did and nobody is being called to task. Note the obnoxious cow Garraway prefixing her question, saying ‘he wasn’t thinking, he had different information’. Her boss ITV head Adam Crozier has never been mentioned. Strange that. They should all be in prison.

[@eveelliot2109]

I cried when I first 😢heard this womens story. It's disgusting & shameful how she was treated.

[@eveelliot2109]

Prosecution held back evidence to get a conviction...

[@slynskey333]

She better be fully compensated

[@philgordon6671]

They did not miss the mistake. They covered it up

[@jjo5375]

Why in the WORLD should she, declared "Innocent" have to promise to "behave herself," etc.! SHE SHOULD SUE!

The Judge who put her in jail should be jailed too, and the tax man, because the tax man could see who really had the money also.

[@aethellstan]

quite right too. words now are useless. prison sentences mean more.

[@peterdickinson2602]

The insincerity of this fake apology should add a couple of years to the ten year prison sentence I would like to see awarded.

[@alexandradacunha3221]

Disgusting behaviour with all involved. Long ago but not forgotten . No one has the right to be able to ruin people’s life’s . Not good enough at all . Apologies are too late .

[@eveelliot2109]

The heads of Post Office on average got £4 million plus each in bonus payments. Not 1 penny has been paid back.

[@mrlions994]

They literally have blood on their hands

[@brendamuirhead483]

No apology would suffice for me unless it was given after the apologiser had served a custodial sentence.

[@martyngray48]

Well said lady. Why has no one from the post office been imprisoned. they lied under oath

[@chuckyc6912]

The whole bunch of top brass at post office need to do time

[@alannarutter5033]

I would've done exactly the same. An apology is not enough! 😖

[@MrCat852]

A criminal investigation against the ex Post Office Boss should be conducted!

[@sanya2479]

My heart bleeds for this poor woman. 💔💔💔

[@evgeniynagornyak1150]

The problem is, that he will be free next day.

[@monipenny408]

as they say, UK system is the best system that money can buy.

[@ggunga7764]

She should get a big compensation. Poor son

[@samuel210386]

What about the post office boss, all the system development team and the judge? They should be all sent to jail!

[@conniejames8354]

Seema I admire your courage , this is so heartbreaking . God bless you x

[@Saif-vu8gq]

I hope she gets well compensated

[@diannedavis4437]

They should be complete restitution for everyone who has been put on trial has been put in jail that should be taken care of immediately you’re justice system has failed Innocent people and the company who provided the system who knew that the system is faulty, should be paying restitution to the people, and they need to go to jail The people who knew the system didn’t work and they deliberately allowed others to take the blame. you can sympathize, But the shame and humiliation this woman suffered in the fact she was thrown into prison, and pregnant. You have no idea what this woman went through.

[@LitpalLitpal]

Demand a compensation, not an apology!

[@naeedaafzal3055]

Sue the judge as well

[@lewiss626]

You can't. The judge can only work with the evidence they are given so if the post office had fake documents showing the money had been taken the judge would have had to accept that as evidence aswell as the fact it was a jury that found her guilty.

[@FaithArise_]

Oh my God, my heart just breaks for her. 😢

[@ellisburton8733]

What an amazing lady, your heart goes out to her and any one similarly affected 😭. Dear lord, bless her heart and her family. If the innocent can get thrown in jail then the guilty definitely belong there - get a taste of their own medicine.

[@ilachauhan4666]

Bless her

[@auntbee1959]

Were these people given compensation?

[@user-pe8ce7kg5n]

NO THEY HAVE NOT !!!! Listened to the News Lately ???

[@waheedalmass708]

This is terrible. can't believe it. Feel very sorry for the lady.

[@whatthedeuce47d68]

The leaders of post office at the time should have to pay back their bonuses in full and pay it to her, and they should be inprisoned for the totality of her sentence. Those rich toffs myst pay the price equal to the suffering inflicted upon these unfortunate postal workers!

[@Steve-vz5wv]

This is fraud big prison sentence for what they've done

[@RaymondStormbl3ssed]

Racism is still a big issue in the UK that doesn’t get addressed This is unacceptable I hope she gets justice

[@ggunga7764]

Awful time

[@barbs574]

Great news. She can now go after them have them sentenced and sent to prison. They will have to pay her personally and everyone else, let them sell properties and cars and get loans. They are definitely cruel criminals

[@ilachauhan4666]

Bless her so much devastated to see when you are innocent

[@Pkbristolyt]

Was she given the chance to apologise and walk away when the boot was on the other foot

[@nicmartin6386]

My first time viewing Good Morning Britain and my last due to the "Lightweight Presenters" who made me CRINGE with embarrassment for their so obvious insincerity and fake empathy. 🤔

[@JohanSven42069]

This is going to cost the taxpayers over 1 Billion. The post office needs to be sold to a private company. Use the money to pay out the victims.

[@paulwilson2651]

It is in private hands where were you when it was flogged off? The share holders are now responsible for financing any pay outs. No way should tax payers monies be used.

[@charliebrandt2263]

No. Privatisation does not work. Look at Thames Water, the jewel in the crown of Water for london. Sold to Ratcliffe, he stripped away all the land and assets, then sold the broken company to another mug.

[@lewiss626]

What a horrendous experience, my heart bleeds for this poor lady 💔. Unfortunately, i can't imagine any of the post office bosses doing time inside prison. I think they'll find a way to blame it all on Fujitsu software, and that company may get a fine, but as sad as it is, i just dont see anyone personally getting convinced 😢

Bear in mind her boss Crozier was in charge of the post office at the time.

[@ggunga7764]

Yes.not genuine and caring to her

[@therealryan1329]

Why is the pregnancy relevant?

[@mehfoos]

It's relevant for humans with a sense of compassion or empathy, so doesn't apply to you.

[@therealryan1329]

@mehfoos not relevant to the facts though so it's by definition. Irrelevant.
