Post Office's former most senior lawyer 'doesn't recall' meeting on convicted pregnant postmistress
Convicting pregnant postmistress hoped to curb ‘Horizon bashing’, the Post Office inquiry has heard.
Seema Misra, a former sub-postmaster, was eight weeks pregnant when found guilty of false accounting and theft in 2010.
An email from Jarnail Singh, a Post Office lawyer, referring to Ms Misra was shown to the inquiry on Tuesday. It said: “It is hoped the case will set a marker to dissuade other defendants from jumping on the Horizon bashing bandwagon.”
Susan Crichton, the Post Office’s former most senior in-house lawyer, confirmed she received the email in Oct 2010, but claimed she didn’t remember any further discussions around the case.
