Postmaster Janet Skinner has battled for 15 years to get justice
Janet Skinner
A former Bransholme postmaster is waiting to hear her fate after an almost 15-year battle to overturn her false accounting conviction.
Janet Skinner, 50, was a hard-working and popular postmaster in Bransholme when money started going missing.
She called for an audit and was immediately suspended in May 2006. Less than a year later she pleaded guilty to false accounting and was handed a nine-month jail sentence.

Speaking outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London ahead of the ruling, Ms Skinner said there had been “too many twists and turns in this case” for her to assume the Court of Appeal would overturn her conviction.
