  • A former Post Office inspector “asked a sub-postmistress’s son if he loved” his mother, the inquiry has heard.
    Jennifer O’Dell, who ran a Post Office in Great Staughton, Cambridgeshire, was suspended from her role in 2010 after being blamed for a £9,617 shortfall in her accounts which was actually caused by defects in Horizon.
    Jon Longman, the lead investigator in her case, was questioned on the investigation and others he was involved in today.

    I will be very surprised if anyone who deserves to be prosecuted is. If there is justice and they are prosecutes and convicted and don't end up in prison, the bare minimum should be very hefty fines and all proceeds go in a pot for the victims. "I can't remember" my part in ruining these peoples lives is sickening. These people will go home after their turn, sit down with a glass of wine and say "I'm glad that is over" without an ounce of genuine remorse.
