Alan Bates comes across as humble and the show captured that so well, that is what has helped to get the public behind them. I understand how angry they must be but I think some need to learn from his approach and remain humble, they will start to lose some public sympathy if they start shouting at ministers and demanding millions and saying £600K is not enough. They should leave the solicitors play hardball and get maximum payouts, and continue to portray the hard done by quiet little sub-postmaster image who were smashed by a massive government-backed organisation.

At the turn of the millennium I was called to jury duty at Newport Crown Court. The case I was selected for was a pre-trial hearing to assess whether a postmaster from Newport was fit to stand trial on charges of embezzlement. We heard from an expert witness that he had mental problems - whether these were brought on by the charges or pre-existing I don't know. I was inclined to accept their advice but the jury debate was a real eye-opener - one woman said 'oh yeah, I saw this on Eastenders. He's trying it on'.
Anyway, long story short, I wouldn't agree with the majority that he was fit to stand trial. Initially I was on my own but one woman then changed sides. The judge accepted a majority verdict though and he went to trial and was later found guilty and jailed.
When this scandal came to light I did think of looking into his case to see if he had been wrongly convicted but then decided I'd rather not know, even though I hadn't really been responsible.
British justice eh?

In the middle of binge watching it, I thought I knew quite a bit about what happened, but there’s so much in the programme that’s absolutely shocking.
This week's Computer Weekly article is well worth a read. They first wrote about it in 2009.
