This is interesting, vast majority of sub postmasters pled guilty. It’s the belligerent few who fought and eventually exposed the miscarriage of justice. Conversely most U.K. defendants in Libor cases fought thereby ruining the plan for mass guilty pleas.

The devastating impact wrongful Convictions have on the family members of the accused should never be overlooked. Reading this is a reminder that monetary compensation cannot give you back your health, happiness and this case youth. I pray Millie Jo can now heal.

The financial costs of contesting convictions are huge, that’s without the pre trial and trial stuff. I had double due to lawyers in the US and U.K.That economic war is a major reason innocent people take plea deals or give up the the fight post conviction

I was innocent - but it cost me £500,000 to prove it

People found not guilty of crimes say winning their freedom has left them financially devastated.

This was something the traders all suffered from in the Libor trials. A false prosecution narrative was allowed to become accepted fact until the investigative journalism of @andyverity exposed what really happened and the perversity of the prosecution case.

The response Alan Bates got was largely the same as that which I got from my then constituency MP. Unfortunately for IBOR traders we had MPs calling for us to be imprisoned before we had due process with little to no understanding. Meanwhile the select committee was lied to..

You can see the original press conference where he was charged here. In January this year, the US courts decided all the prosecutions of traders for interest rate 'rigging' were misconceived. In other words, the case against him set out here was wrong:

When someone is going through hell, just saying “I’m with you” is the most powerful thing you can do. Advice, perspectives, or offers to help are minimally impactful. The notion that someone is with you is 10x more powerful. Be the “Darkest Hour Friend” to those you love.

It’s never been mentioned. Not by real or fake experts. Not by any witness for any side. It was disavowed during the oral hearing by the SFO. None of cases were brought on that basis. It’s factually wrong moreover it would mean any requests for a low Libor submission were legal!

Throughout the @robilypj and Carlo Palombo Court of Appeal hearings it was clear the judges thought that Libor submission rules required the "cheapest" rate. What's strange is I don't recall this ever being part of the SFO's case.

What I can’t understand is the English Law notion that a fraudulent misrepresentation can be a numerically accurate rate at which you could borrow money. It explains the complete dearth money and victims in our cases. The legal gymnastics required to make this a crime are insane.
