During that time, there were hundreds of prosecutions against Sub Postmasters and after establishing at the beginning of his testimony how important that was, that he was running the business, he then said that he just didnt even know that these prosecutions were being brought forward by the post office, that there was no independent body, no review as to whether those decisions made sense and he realises that two thirds of those cases, those decisions, were being taken by the post office owe you wonder that how is it when youve seen these documents that are going to him, talking about these criminal cases, that he didnt understand as the man in the top job that t
