Six former Post Office subpostmasters caught up in the Horizon scandal have become the first to have their names formally cleared after the Court of Appeal quashed their wrongful criminal convictions.
The decision, made by Her Honour Judge Deborah Taylor sitting at Southwark Crown Court this morning, saw six people cleared of criminal convictions the Post Office obtained by relying on its dodgy Horizon IT system.
Journalist Nick Wallis, who has been tirelessly following the case for years, tweeted the judge’s ruling this morning.
