Seema Misra does not accept Gareth Jenkins's apology, but not only Jenkins ought to be offering one. Keir Starmer lobbied successfully to make it easier for himself, and only the Director of Public Prosecutions in person, to halt a private prosecution.
Yet either he never noticed that subpostmasters had suddenly moved from being archetypal pillars of the community to being prosecuted for dishonesty at a rate of one in seven, or he never saw it as a problem.
He never took over any Post Office private prosecution and halted it, but he took over several and turned them into public prosecutions, sending the pregnant Misra to prison with Rose West. That was a public prosecution, by Starmer. It was not the only one.
When is Starmer appearing before the inquiry?
ReplyDeleteWhen, indeed?
