At last - the first Post Office Horizon conviction overturned in Scotland. Susan Sinclair, convicted after trial in April 2004, finally secured justice today at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh. #PostOfficeScandal Livingstone Brown

Susan Sinclair is delighted that the court has granted her appeal and quashed her conviction.  This is the first such successful appeal in Scotland. She should never have been accused of any wrongdoing, far less convicted.

Lessons must be learnt from this national scandal to ensure that these events never happen again.  But we also need answers on why it has taken so long to get to this point, four years after the High Court in England issued a damning verdict on the Horizon computer system.

Thanks to Dr Claire Mitchell KC and David Welsh, who appeared as counsel, for their tireless and tenacious work in the appeal.

What a result 🥂

The first Post Office Horizon conviction has been overturned in Scotland. Susan Sinclair, convicted after trial in April 2004, finally secured justice today. The 6 cases SCCRC referred to the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh. The SCCRC concluded the five who pled guilty
