76 as a fraction of potentially over 900 nationally is disproportionately small, though I don't know whether there are disproportionately fewer sub postmasters in Scotland. Do we know how many Scottish prosecutions did not go forward with the fiscal? The fundamental issue here is that it is likely that the Post Office on the one hand knew of the problems with the code and on the other still continued its prosecutions (based on its longstanding reputation). The fact that in England and Wales they could get away with that without systematic scrutiny surely only sways the chances of cases succeeding elsewhere. There was evidence from Horizon identifying the frauds, after all, and they had been successfully prosecuted.
