Green Man	The Post Office scandal will be a political football in the election or the government will give the victims a large sum each as a bribe. The tech companies are on the government payroll and Fujitsu know's the government secrets.
Wyot	Sadly outside of those directly affected no one cares about wrongful convictions until the issue gains sufficient media and so then political attention. Notions of due process, blind justice and innocent until proven guilty have been replaced by cost cutting, identity politics and victims must be believed.
JK2006	People in media don't seem to be covering this aspect of the Post Office scandal. If it's taken 30 years for Justice to emerge and even now only 93 of the 800+ wrongfully convicted have been cleared, let alone compensated, something is very wrong with the system. If even only 750 of the convicted were innocent, what the hell is the matter with the CCRC? It's meant to sort out wrongful convictions. Why so long? Why so few? And how many others have been wrongly convicted? After watching The Jury on Ch4, many might think - THOUSANDS. How many have been freed? Only dozens.
