Before the inquiry finished, Stein's fiery questions included reminders of some of the sub-postmasters who were affected by the Horizon scandal. | |
He mentioned Jacqueline Falcon, who worked at a Post Office branch in Hadston, Northumberland, between 2000 and 2015. | |
He says she got blamed by her employer for a shortfall. | |
Falcon was arrested and charged with fraud, given a suspended prison sentence, shunned by her local community, barely able to leave her house and was put on antidepressants, Stein says. He added that she was arrested in 2015. | |
“Why didn't the Post Office send out a message to make sure people were not unnecessarily blamed for, what might be, or could be a problem with the system?” he asked Van den Bogerd. | |
Van den Bogerd said the message given to sub-postmasters was that help was available when she was in support services, but that assistance wasn’t there earlier than that. | |
