The wife of a wrongly jailed sub-postmaster has spoken publicly for the first time about the ordeal of seeing her innocent husband being locked up.
Eira Thomas, of Gaerwen, Anglesey, said her family s lives had been turned into a nightmare by the treatment of husband Noel, 74, by the Post Office.
He said his experience over the past 16 years was like falling from the top of the ladder to the very bottom .
He was jailed for nine months in 2006 for false accounting after £48,000 went missing from office accounts.
