Vader

What I don't understand is the inquiry.

This should be a criminal case and it's perjury. It was good enough without proper evidence to throw the sub postmasters into prison, the same should apply to all involved. Also the post office should be stripped of its powers to prosecute someone without a 3rd party over looking it.
