Re: Statutory inquiry
Maybe, but (at least) one defendant was convicted despite the judge noting that there was no direct evidence of guilt. The judges just accepted the Post Office's insistence that Horizon recorded transactions accurately.
The judges decide what evidence is admissible in court, and I would be interested to know whether a more IT literate judiciary would have allowed the Post Office assertions to be presented in court without supporting evidence.
