- alistairSH 2y agoSure, and once the cases made it to court, I can see jurors taking the software evidence at face value. In this case, somebody should have pumped the brakes well before criminal proceedings. But, it seems like the higher-ups didn't want to look bad, so buried evidence and charged anyways, which should be criminal (no idea if it is, I'm no expert in UK law).
