My impression is that it's a technical case (not just about software, but really also about how accounting evidence should look) and that it was subverted by misleading testimony from the needed expert witnesses.
I don't disagree that the UK needs to take a long, hard look at its judicial system, but what system is safe from this kind of problem and how so?
A system that does not put people in prison without guilty evidence? Because that was what happened here in all cases. Not faked evidence, worst, lack of evidence...
Expert witnesses are witnesses to their expertise, not to the actions of a defendant. No conviction should ever be based on the testimony of an expert witness.
