Judith Elizabeth Smith

---

Judith Smith was a sub-postmaster who pled guilty to false accounting (uttering false accounts) in excess of £3,000. She said that she had inflated cash on hand figures to make accounts balance after the Horizon helpdesk was unable to provide assistance in relation to apparent shortfalls.

Her conviction was overturned when it became clear that evidence undermining Horizon had been suppressed and that bugs, errors, and defects in Horizon could, and did, cause discrepancies and shortfalls in branch accounts.
