Post Office officials knew it was broken and lied over and over again. They hid a report into Horizon from 2003 and threatened the consultant if he spoke out [1]. The Post Office also knew for a fact their defense was false but continued to lie in court [2]. In England (but not Scotland), the Post Office itself acted as prosecutor separate to the normal justice system. Investigators were incentivized to find people guilty.
