Post Office Conviction against subpostmaster Lisa Brennan was described by a judge on appeal as an 'Affront to Justice' after she had the 27 counts of theft totalling approximately £3,500 quashed. Post Office Investigator Stephen Bradshaw gives evidence to the Post Office Inquiry about the case and describes his involvement. Horizon evidence was described as essential in getting an conviction and it is highlighted that there was no corroborating evidence nor any evidence of appropriation by the accused subpostmaster. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #PostOfficeInvestigator #PostOfficeInvestigation #StephenBradshaw #LisaBrennan

Post Office Investigator Stephen Bradshaw testifies to the Post Office Inquiry and is shown evidence of an arguably aggressive interview style undertaken by himself and another Post Office Investigator who appear to be badgering the beleaguered subpostmaster during her interview under caution in relation to money alleged stolen from her Post Office relating to overstated pension vouchers found during an audit by the Department for Work and Pensions. Lisa Brennan denies the allegations but Stephen Bradshaw tells her they know she's done it, they just want to know why... #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #PostOfficeInvestigator #PostOfficeInvestigation #StephenBradshaw #LisaBrennan

Post Office Investigator Stephen Bradshaw Points the Finger of blame at Senior Management at both the Post Office and Fujitsu for non-disclosure of Horizon bugs in his opening evidence to the Post Office Inquiry. Stephen Bradshaw outlines his 45 year ongoing career at the Post Office including the last 24 years in the Security Team as an investigation manager at the Post Office and has involvement in a large number of the case studies being looked at by the Post Office Inquiry. Stephen Bradshaw has legal representation at the Post Office Inquiry and receives the self-incrimination warning from Post Office Inquiry chair Sir Wyn ahead of giving his testimony. He says investigations were ran professionally at all times, he has no other recollections on them and he wasn't made aware of any issues with the Horizon system. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #PostOfficeInvestigator #PostOfficeInvestigation #StephenBradshaw

Post Office Investigator Stephen Bradshaw switfly BACKTRACKS on his Witness Statement to the Post Office Inquiry where he states that he wasn't aware of any issues with Horizon. Furthermore, in his initial testimony he says that he never had issues communicated to him about the Horizon system from either Post Office or Fujitsu. Within minutes he appears to backtrack on these statements when he's shown evidence of 'his equals' sending him emails in 2010 relating to journalists reporting of Horizon issues and communications he is involved with between the Post Office and Fujitsu discussing a rise in cases citing Horizon issues. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #Fujitsu #Horizon #PostOfficeInvestigator #PostOfficeInvestigation #StephenBradshaw

Post Office Investigator DENIES the Criminal Case Witness Statement submitted by the Post Office in the prosecution of a subpostmaster in 2013 telling the Post Office Inquiry that it was written for him by legal firm Cartwright King. In another damning revelation he says 'very similar' statements were provided by Cartwright King to other members of security team to put their name to and sign espousing the integrity and robustness of the Horizon system and saying that they weren't aware of any issues with the operation of the Horizon system and, whilst they would co-operate with a review of the system, they wanted to make clear this was not an admission of any issues with the Fujitsu Horizon system. Stephen Bradshaw confirms to us that he didn't have the pre-requisite technical knowledge to make such judgements and was instructed to include these lines in his witness statement. He opines that on reflection at the Post Office Inquiry he would now include a line in the statement that these were not his own words and may likely not agree to provide such a witness statement at all now. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #Fujitsu #Horizon #PostOfficeInvestigator #PostOfficeInvestigation #StephenBradshaw

Did Post Office Investigator Stephen Bradshaw regularly Sign Off INCORRECT Statements that he hadn't written? He's asked questions about his witness statements and their usage at the Post Office Inquiry. He describes the practice of witness statements and also highlights how they were inconsistent with his views on how witness statements should be sought and produced as an investigation manager. He questioned by Counsel to the Post Office Inquiry about the concerns, if any, he raised at the time about the witness statements process was and what the response from the Post Office was. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice #Fujitsu #Horizon #PostOfficeInvestigator #PostOfficeInvestigation #StephenBradshaw
