...but she isn't making a very good job of it.
She didn't know and she wasn't told and it wasn't her fault and anyway she is "truly sorry".
So that's ok then.
This is brutal.
Apparently however, as long as you say that you don't remember whether you saw the clear evidence of a systems failure when you responded to being told about it by doing nothing, that's fine.

She comes across as confident, very prepared and slick, under a facade just for this week of humility. Predictably playing the game of being an innocent bystander.
***** through her teeth.
Isn't that the same for all of them ? Every single one of the witnesses linked to the PO has started (and I paraphrase) 'I'm so sorry for the people that have been convicted unjustly.". Not a single one has held their hands up and said "Yes, I PERSONALLY got it wrong and should PERSONALLY be held accountable.". Cowards each and every one.

If the TV drama was at all accurate, she was at the absolute core of the prosecutions, the lies, the obfuscation and the cover-up. Fully deserving of some time in the nick.

Do you mean Fujitsu? Senior Fujitsu figures have appeared at the enquiry but I'm not aware of any of them explaining who was responsible for the secret room full of people remotely accessing branch accounts to try and hide system errors.
When I watched the drama, for me in that she came over just as bad (if not worse) than Vennels
For once I think this quote is valid "LOCK HER UP !"
Sounds very likely from her performance today. She took decisions that could only have been taken on the basis of ignoring information she was given. The actions she took were designed to do one think only - scapegoat the postmasters and cover up what had actually happened. And the only way she could have been triggered into making the decisions she took was if she had been shown the relevnt information and decided on a malignant course of action. Her defense is that in retrospect the decisions she took were not correct but (get this) she has no recollection of seeing the information that triggered her actions.
It's as brazen as saying "I should not have stolen that woman's purse, but I have no recollection of it being in her handbag or how it came into my possession. Had I realized at the time that neither the purse nor the handbag were mine I would have taken a different course of action"
I am not legally trained. However I am hoping and expecting that those who are will be able to unpack all this lying bollocks and put her in jail for perjury. In a cell with a massive lusty lesbian with sharp and dirty fingernails, hopefully.

Good analogy
It's quite shocking - she took decisions (which she now admits were wrong) that had a massive impact on people's lives and now just says she can't remember seeing the information that made her make those decisions...
OK then.

My experience from observing judges and barristers (from the wright side of the lore
), is that these characters will be systematically torn apart at a criminal trial. Superior intellects, through logic, catching out inconsistencies and lies.
