Reporting from outside the inquiry | |
I caught up with David Enright, whose firm represents former | |
sub-postmasters. His own clients include Jennifer O'Dell, whose case is one Jon | |
Longman has said he had "reservations" about. | |
In | |
a write-up of an interview with O'Dell shown at the hearing, Longman wrote she | |
blamed losses on Horizon and refused to make good the audit shortage. Yet, at | |
the time, Longman did not think it was relevant to disclose the challenge to | |
the Horizon IT system in her case to Seema Misra's legal team. | |
Enright tells me his clients have accused the Post Office’s investigators of | |
intimidation, bullying, and acting like "heavies" who were "demanding to know | |
where the money has gone". | |
"Of | |
course, we now know that money simply didn’t exist, it was a phantom fantasy of | |
a broken computer system," he adds. | |
He | |
says this is at the heart of what this inquiry is trying to do – to demonstrate | |
“the way these people were treated was wrong”. | |
