Convicted by a Computer in Warrington

Amanda and Norman Barber, former sub-postmasters from Warrington, were falsely accused of stealing nearly £6,000 due to errors caused by the now-notorious Horizon IT system.

Despite spending over £200,000 of their own money attempting to reconcile the books, they were handed 12-month community orders—convictions that were only later quashed.

Their story is a heartbreaking example of the human cost behind one of the UK’s worst miscarriages of justice.
