Buggy software is important aspect of the story but to me it’s not the main one.
The main one is that the post office management/officials at some point became aware of the bugs and that they were ruining lives of innocent people and they knowingly kept lying to save their asses.
The inquiry page has all of this and more: https://www.postofficehorizoninquiry.org.uk/about-inquiry https://www.postofficehorizoninquiry.org.uk/about-inquiry
I’ve read through it, it’s long but it’s a good (while terrifying) read.
- thehappyfellow 2y agoI’m sorry I don’t have a summary but the judgment is also enlightening: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/bates-v-post-office-judgment.pdf https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/bates-v-...

I have a lot of respect for the judge after reading this. Here’s a quote describing Post Office evidence: “bare assertions and denials that ignore what has actually occurred… [amounting] to the 21st century equivalent of maintaining that the earth is flat”.
