The former Post Office boss will be among those giving their final closing statements on Tuesday. In written submissions made by Ms Vennells’ legal team, she continued to deny knowledge of the extent of bugs in the Horizon system which subsequently led to wrongful convictions. “She simply did not get the information which she ought to have been given by her senior team, whom she trusted and to whom she delegated responsible roles.” In its written submissions, the Post Office said: “Some of the evidence has been deeply uncomfortable for to hear and the mistakes that were made, and opportunities missed, when viewed through the sharp prism of hindsight, are ones which deeply regrets.”
